pkgsrc inconsistencies on MIPS ports?

["John D. Baker" <jdbaker%mylinuxisp.com@localhost>]

Building "x11/xautolock" produces some curious output on my Lemote
YeeLoong (evbmips-mips64el).

Notably, during the configure phase, there are messages that some
expected symbols and endianness are not defined.

It also appears that CFLAGS additions are not honored as the assembler
emits the "softfloat" warnings in spite of the workaround in PR
toolchain/52142.

The package completes building, however.

As its short, the entire transcript is as follows:
