I don't know why. I did a "bmake -d A" and that is how I found my problem.
It appears to read the sys.mk many times (or at least reuses a cached copy
of it).

expanding "sys.mk".../home/jeremy/netbsd/usr/pkg/share/mk/sys.mk
expanding "sys.mk".../home/jeremy/netbsd/usr/pkg/share/mk/sys.mk

expanding "sys.mk".../home/jeremy/netbsd/usr/pkg/share/mk/sys.mk

(Under NetBSD, it appears to do same thing too, but is okay, because
variables aren't overridden.)

I can provide entire 1835014 byte log (99889 bytes bzip2'd) of building
simple net/gethost.

Thanks for your response.
