Blacklist it by OS version in sqlite3/builtin.mk, since there doesn't
seem to be any way to detect its build config.

Maybe in the future we can figure out how to make the logic used for
checking package build options also work with builtin packages. And
maybe then hack the base sqlite to interoperate; doesn't need to be a
particular portable solution.

No idea.

Blacklist it by OS version, I guess.

This is already handled by the builtin logic. That's the point of my
whole objection.
