Thank you.

This is more than I expected, on the other hand, I see mostly software
that's very long in the tooth.

I don't plan on reverting the change, nor will I fix these 367
packages by myself.

I could add the workaround (that was in mk/) to them, with a "FIXME:
replace by proper LDFLAGS handling" comment.

Or we could use this as an indicator for software which could be
removed from pkgsrc. Only half-serious.

For now, I'd like to wait for a bit so that people running local
builds see the breakage and have a chance to fix it for the packages
that interest them (or ask for help here if they can't).

Comments?
