Not a terribly exotic platform, but on my ArchLinux systems, with a 
builtin sqlite3, trying to build devel/nss

if PKGSRC_USE_MKTOOLS=no then
pkgsrc/devel/nss/work/.buildlink/lib/pkgconfig/
ends up with

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jun 26 23:44 nspr.pc -> 
/usr/pkg/lib/pkgconfig/nspr.pc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Jun 26 23:44 sqlite3.pc -> 
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/sqlite3.pc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Jun 26 23:44 zlib.pc -> 
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/zlib.pc

and everything builds fine

while if PKGSRC_USE_MKTOOLS=yes then only get


lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jun 26 23:41 nspr.pc -> 
/usr/pkg/lib/pkgconfig/nspr.pc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Jun 26 23:41 zlib.pc -> 
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/zlib.pc


and nss fails to build with sqlite3 issues.   Even though 
USE_BUILTIN.sqlite3 is yes in both cases.
