This is apparently the desired behaviour, as all "build" and "lib"
dependencies are built and installed during the extract phase of a port.
However, the comment about the extract target in bsd.port.mk doesn't
indicate this:
# extract - Unpacks ${DISTFILES} into ${WRKDIR}.
I don't really see the need to 'make install' all build/lib/misc-depends
during the extract phase. In fact, the comment for the BUILD_DEPENDS
indicates that these will be built 'between the "extract" and "build"
stages', not *during* the extract phase.
Could the making of build/lib/misc-depends be moved elsewhere? Yes, I know
that 'make extract NO_DEPENDS=YES' will suppress dependency building, but
it's not what most people would think (or know) to do. I would suggest
pre-configure, since the 'patch' target shouldn't require anything other
than 'patch', whereas the configure target would definitely require any
dependent libraries or headers to be installed, especially if GNU configure
is involved.
