That is a workaround which works because then you're using the native
sgmlspl (which is probably not too desirable wrt reproducability on
other systems).

Yup. I bumped into the same issue (being unawara of this thread).
sgmlspl-native did not export its executable, only a -dev pacakge
(which might have sufficed at some point in time).
I just let it stage all its files. After that for me iputils builds fine.
