Hi,

before doing that, I did this: make clean=depends (inside libxml, which has bzip as a dependency). Make install again.

Now it built bzip2 but ln crashes while installing mapages of tcl. I reissue make install now, it crashes again in tcl.

That is, starting from a clean port build may shift the problem, but once it is there, I can hit again and again in the same place. I will try if it survives a reboot, that is if it is file-system dependent "only". Once I know it is, I can then check different "ln" binaries by leaving it in the same state and not making clean.
