 Adding possible more information... this is likely due the use of
 patchelf in post-install:
 
  | .if ${SHLIB_TYPE} == "ELF"
  | CFLAGS+=        ${COMPILER_RPATH_FLAG}${PREFIX}/lib/lua/5.1
  | 
  | TOOL_DEPENDS+=  patchelf-[0-9]*:../../devel/patchelf
  | 
  | post-install:
  |         ${TOOLBASE}/bin/patchelf ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}/bin/nvim \
  |                 --replace-needed ${BUILDLINK_DIR.lua-lpeg}/lib/lua/5.1/lpeg.so lpeg.so
  | .endif
 
 I have locally workaround-ed that by getting rid of the post-install
 target and building with CHECK_SHLIBS=yes ... but we definitely need to
 figure out how to get rid of that kludge and properly linking to lpeg.so
 without needing patchelf.
 
 (If patchelf is problematic on aarch64... that's probably worth a PR
 too, but that's another story :))
