I think you've missed the real culprit, which appears to be:

perl @/kern/makeobjops.pl -c @/libkern/iconv_converter_if.m
Can't open perl script "@/kern/makeobjops.pl": No such file or directory
*** Error code 2

Perhaps someone else knows what to do about that as I don't I'm afraid.

It's pretty hard to garner any further context with such massively parallel 
make though. Have you tried either lowering your -j value or using the -P 
make option?

Can't think of a better one...

That's the correct value if you wish to build a snapshot of -STABLE. If you 
want the latest snapshot of the 4.6 critical-fix-only branch, you want 
RELENG_4_6
