I was hit by the same dump when trying to build a -current world on a
2.2.2-RELEASE system. I deleted  the termcaps directory from
the SUBDIR list in src/share/Makefile, saved the changed Makefile
under the name makefile and build the world successfully .

During install the missing network group in /etc/group stopped again the
show. I add the line
network:*:69:
in /etc/group and installed the world successfully.

Then I rebuilt the kernel from -current sources, rebooted and everything
worked fine.

This was on a friend's system, who wanted to try an smp kernel.
He keeps on talking me into buying a multiprocessor board since
then :-)
