ports-mgmt/pkg failing to link when cross-compiling with qemu

[Christopher J. Ruwe]

When trying the instructions on
https://wiki.freebsd.org/QemuUserModeHowTo, I encountered a fairly
basic port (ports-mgmt/pkg) failing to link properly:

Has anybody encountered something similar and would know how to fix
that?

Thanks and cheers,

Punctuation matters:
"Lets eat Grandma." or "Lets eat, Grandma." - Punctuation saves lives.
"A panda eats shoots and leaves." or "A panda eats, shoots, and
leaves." - Punctuation teaches proper biology.

"With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead." (RFC 1925)
