I received a report from a pkgsrc user who wanted to build Hercules on their aarch64 machine.
They had built and installed the 4 helper libraries (extpkgs) in /usr/pkg/lib/hercules4sdl/lib and correspondingly passed the option --enable-extpkgs=/usr/pkg/lib/hercules4sdl to configure.
3162 if test "${hc_cv_extpkg_dir}" != ""; then
3163 crypto_pkgdir="${hc_cv_extpkg_dir}"
3164 else
3165 crypto_pkgdir="${srcdir}/${crypto_pkgname}"
3166 fi
3167
3168 crypto_incdir="${crypto_pkgdir}/include"
3169 crypto_libdir="${crypto_pkgdir}/lib${hc_cv_pkg_lib_subdir}"
...
3298 LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L${crypto_libdir}"
So what's happening here is that if the Hercules source package contains pre-compiled libraries, they would be in "${srcdir}/${crypto_pkgname}"/"lib${hc_cv_pkg_lib_subdir}" from lines 3165 and 3169.
Currently there are only IA32/IA64 binaries in there, but that's kind of beside the point. It's for "future expansion", let's say.
Unfortunately this effectively means that the directory specified by --enable-extpkgs is not obeyed.
What would be a good way out of this?
Something like this
3162 if test "${hc_cv_extpkg_dir}" != ""; then
3163 crypto_pkgdir="${hc_cv_extpkg_dir}"
crypto_libdir="${crypto_pkgdir}/lib"
3164 else
3165 crypto_pkgdir="${srcdir}/${crypto_pkgname}"
crypto_libdir="${crypto_pkgdir}/lib${hc_cv_pkg_lib_subdir}"
3166 fi
3167
3168 crypto_incdir="${crypto_pkgdir}/include"

When I examined
