I recognize that 'write error' as an old bug which was fixed months ago. I can't remember at the moment what the fix was :o( but the answer is buried in the mail-list archives. I seem to recall that the bug was actually in the DF system somewhere(?) so the solution (I think) would be to use a newer version of DF. What version of DF are you running? Easier thing to try first would be to make sure you are running the latest versions of gmake (but I think that turned out not to be the problem after all).
