--- Comment #3 from Jessica Clarke <jrtc27@freebsd.org> ---
That's not the right fix. The build is deliberately done with a hard-coded path
to ensure nothing outside of the base system is used accidentally. If a target
needs something from /usr/local/bin then it should either default to using an
absolute path or add to PATH temporarily and locally when needed. That is,
CTAGS in bsd.dep.mk should likely be defaulting to /usr/local/bin/gtags (or,
really, ${LOCALBASE}/bin/gtags), though maybe base's ctags works well enough
(the default was flipped in 2002 from ctags to gtags, and I don't know what the
status of either of them is these days).
