Yes, the same problem, and rebuilding gmake was the first thing I tried -- it didn't change anything. I made one big mistake in my original post -- the build does *not* always stop in the same place. It does always stop just after printing 'leaving directory foo', so the error is not completely random (just partly random). I've spent all morning trying to get a ktrace of the problem without success. ktrace.out keeps using up all my free disk space -- I made room for a 10GB partition, and that just got filled up. I've been running kdump on the result for 35 minutes now and it just keeps scrolling by on my screen. Dunno if I'll be able to tell anything when it finally stops. This process does not scale well!
