Just to record the solution, here is how to fix this problem. The issue is that GNU make is being called rather than /usr/bin/make. On my system (5.3-RELEASE), GNU make had blown away /usr/bin/make and replaced it with a symlink to /usr/local/bin/gmake. (I guess this happened when I did a "pkg_add -r gmake". Perhaps this should be reported as a "bug" ... ) The way around this is to rebuild make. Its source is in /usr/src/usr.bin/make. Unfortunately, the makefile will not build with gmake. Fortunately, there is another make in the system, /usr/bin/umake. You can use this version of make to remake /usr/bin/make. So, # cd /usr/src/usr.bin/make # umake # cp make /usr/bin/make # cd /usr/bin # make -j4 buildworld Regards, -- -mark.
