Strangely, it USED to work...
And, i thought gmake was a good drop in replacement for make? No? Odd.
Again, it has always worked before.
And yes, i know, it's silly to make your hole ports tree. It was only
used as an example.
For instance, i would get the same error trying it in
/usr/src/sys/compile/<machine name>
And, i say again, strangely, it USED to work...
