@theraven: I'm wondering where I can find a documentation about make packages. I looked at /usr/src/Makefile, /usr/src/README.md and build(7) without success.

There is an entry for that in build.7 now.

If nobody objects I will commit the updated patch next week.

Updated diff with more specific make targets

The patch works fine on arm64.

Are you able to follow this up? I'm still unsure when a PR is better than a review, so sorry if I've messed up protocol.

I didn't know .so wasn't wildly used - I just happened to stumbl on the issue with port net/libmaxminddb

Thanks for your report. I can reproduce the problem, depending on the current working directory. IMHO our system manual pages don't use .so anymore, so only some very few ports manpages are affected.

OK. Discarding errors from $cattool is not directly related to the original issue, right?
