Clear up a common misconception about buildlink3. The reality is that
everything in /usr/include and /usr/lib (system header and library paths) is always considered part of the package build environment; buildlink3 only isolates package builds from everything outside of those system paths. As a consequence of this, LOCALBASE == "/usr" effectively makes buildlink3 do nothing.
