Pkgsrc invokes configure scripts with an explicit --hots= argument, so
running ltconfig directly does nothing useful in this case. If you tried:
ltconfig --host=--netbsd
you'd see the error, because this is ths (incorrect) argument passed by
pkgsrc.
This should have been addressed by a fix I put into bsd.pkg.mk yesterday.
Hmmm. I re-sup'ped last night about 12 hours after you said you put in
the changes. I checked and verified that bsd.pkg.mk did get copied over
so I assumed I had the new one.
I can try again later on today.
Not to tie up your time, but I could also give you an account on my machine
and let you poke around and see what you find. (I'm not terribly worried
about security)
