Totally fair to suggest local building.
I just ran a build with work on a USB3 ssd, and with MAKE_JOBS=8, got a
failure, but re-running make was ok.
So I suspect some issue with thunderbird/-j. Maybe I'll figure it out,
maybe not.
I will also try a filesystem tester fromm xfs that I heard about,
apparently not in pkgsrc. Other benchmark/tester suggestions welcome.
