 I can install www/elinks and pretend this never happened...
 
 I have no clever idea how to substitute Solaris "which" with something 
 that behaves like other OSes, nor how to rewrite the Makefile to achieve 
 the same selection in a more portable way.
 
 An enduring solution would be to create a package "bwhich" and install 
 it during bootstrap, like bmake, nbsed, etc. There were other packages 
 that had to be patched due to the unusual behaviour of "which". But I 
 admit that legacy Solarises are such a corner case that it is probably 
 not worth the effort.
