I want PREFER_NATIVE=xpm to work. It used to work, but something changed.

Please guide me on how I can troubleshoot the builtin and imake process.

I am looking at xpm and building fonts/t1lib.

fonts/t1lib includes ../../graphics/xpm/buildlink3.mk.

My mk.conf has: PREFER_NATIVE= xpm

montecristo:/usr/pkgsrc/fonts/t1lib$ bmake show-var VARNAME=PREFER.xpm
native

I don't have xpm package installed. But I do have libXpm as provided by 
xorg-libs package.

The graphics/xpm/builtin.mk includes ../../mk/buildlink3/bsd.builtin.mk.

For some reason it appears that maybe the graphics/xpm/builtin.mk is 
loaded twice. So I set .undef IS_BUILTIN.xpm at top. (I tested this by 
adding a bogus line to after it is checked to see if that was ever got to 
or not -- by seeing if received an error or not.)

Also it appears that the mk/buildlink3/imake-check.mk is ran twice, so I 
also set .undef BUILTIN_IMAKE_CHECK.${_pair_:C/\:[^:]*$//}

Then the mk/buildlink3/imake-check returns "no".

If I don't do the .undef's above then imake-check is never ran. (I tested 
same way as above.)

I tried with bmake-20040220, bmake-20050530 and bootstrap's bmake.

My third problem was imake-check:

montecristo:/tmp/imake-check.25587$ /usr/X11R6/bin/imake -DUseInstalled 
-I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config -s - | make -f - builtin-test
no

montecristo:/tmp/imake-check.25587$ cat Imakefile
#if NormalLibXpm
builtin-test:
         @echo yes
#else
builtin-test:
         @echo no
#endif


I don't see anything in the generated makefile (pipe into less) to see any 
other files that are included.

Any ideas about this?
