 It might be better all around if pkgsrc treated waf options separately from
 configure options. What I have observed is that waf is "mostly" compatible.
 Unfortunately that's just the sort of thing these leads to corner cases.
 However, I recognize that suggestion implies a lot of work and potential
 breakage.
 
 I would remove the offending line and add it right in to the Makefile for
 any packages that are discovered to actually need this switch. Although I
 would guess probably none.
