I added math/mpfr as a dependency as it is used by the sb-mpfr SBCL
contrib module. It really needs math/gmp as well, was going to add
this when I update the package to 2.3.8.

SBCL is linking against the installed versions of these packages, not
against the bl3 tree.

The same kind of error appears in some of the bulk build runs:

<https://us-central.manta.mnx.io/pkgsrc/public/reports/NetBSD/trunk/x86_64/20230821.1117/sbcl-2.3.6/build.log>

and

Allowing SBCL_BOOT_SYSTEM to point to something outside pkgsrc is
deliberate, I have tested using this for all the recent updates that
I did.

Looking at my /etc/mk.conf, I have PKGSRC_MKPIE=no set. I think I added
this when the default changed as I didn't want to rebuild everything.

Maybe we need to set MKPIE_SUPPORTED=no in lang/sbcl/Makefile.
