 Right, well, it's gotten complex over the years... anyway, I just dug
 around a bit more, and it seems that for me, the -I flag (and also the
 -D_REENTRANT) comes from the *Xft* pkgconfig file:
 
 the bb70 configure script prints
    checking for xft_CFLAGS... -I/usr/X11R7/include -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/X11R7/include/freetype2 
 and it gets it like this:
    % pkg-config --cflags "xft >= 2.0.0."
    -I/usr/X11R7/include -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/X11R7/include/freetype2 
    % 
 
 which means that the immediate thing different between your machine
 and mine is that because of this:
 
  : PREFER_PKGSRC+=fontconfig
 
 yours is using libXft from pkgsrc.
 
 And i see a critical problem: libXft's bl3 isn't included.
