[Bug 290010] stable/15 make packages TARGET failure due to etcupdate.8.gz missing

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=290010

--- Comment #13 from ivy@FreeBSD.org ---
the problem here is that DISTDIR is used in both src and ports with a
completely different meaning.  you can't have DISTDIR set when building src
packages, or the build will fail (it's used for some non-pkgbase targets).

as a workaround, you can try something like this in /etc/make.conf:

.if ${PWD:M/usr/ports*}
DISTDIR=/var/src/distfiles
.endif

a proper fix here probably requires renaming one or both variables.  neither is
documented in make.conf(5), so i'm not sure which is more widely used.
