synth doesn't rebuild build-dependencies if it isn't required. It
stores the dependancies as a packages in the local package repository
and unpacks it for each build. In fact, there is no need to install
build dependancies on your local system, as it will *never* get used
by synth, as synth uses a clean chroot'd environment for all its
builds.

I would check:
1. did the packages get built, and are present in the local package repository.
2. what sort of error messages you are getting from just a "pkg
install ${package}" from the local package repo.
Cheers.
