Oops.  I forgot all about this PR.  Unfortunately, for some months now,
I've had no time to give to pkgsrc and it seems unlikely that this will
change anytime soon.  I had to remove pkgsrc from my AIX system during a
filesystem reorganization, and never had time to put it back, so I can't
even re-test this.

If it helps, I do remember the last thing that I figured out (and never
made time to update to the PR) was that the problem wasn't specific to
archivers/bzip2; it appeared to be happening to all packages that used
libtool to build shared libraries.
