I now think the problem might be that freetype2 doesn't bl3 the pc
file. I don't want to touch that now.
The patch below requires pkgsrc freetype2, which might be needed anyway,
and has a pc file. With this, this build gets pretty far.
I then run into a problem with mixing stdc++.so.7 and stc++.so.8. It
appears that the in-tree gcc5 has /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.8 and pkgsrc
gcc6 has
/usr/pkg/gcc6/lib/libstdc++.so.7
On netbsd-8 a number of things have GCC_REQD=6, and this results in
mixed compilation. Thus, the overall 'compiler selection' stuff is
required, but probably people will just upgrade to netbsd-9.
Opinions about the patch? I can certainly see not applying it because
it doesn't result in a package, and is hence just noise. That's how I'm
leaning, but I'm posting it in case anyone finds it useful.
