x11-links needs pax.
I have heard that pax is essential for pkgsrc. Nevertheless ...
My system didn't have pax. It has 54 packages installed -- most via
pkgsrc without any pax.
It might be a good idea to make x11-links have a BUILD_DEPENDS on a pax.
Any comments?
I know I mentioned before, but why doesn't pax get registered as a
package? Why does it have NO_MTREE?
And can someone comment on pkg/22693?

If GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX is not set or nothing, pax will overwrite tar and
cpio :(
(My temp workaround instead of continueing to patch pax, is to use my
wip/opax.)
