Sure, that's hardwired into my fingers. ;-)

Yep, I should have looked closer.  I've been fooled by the above
message...  You've got #!/bin/bash there -- which does not exist.
It's part of the way how execve(2) works that it just reports ENOENT
in that case, even though the script itself /does/ exist, yet the
interpreter doesn't.

Would you mind changing that to the generic #!/bin/sh?  As far as I
can tell, there are not even Posix-shell-dependant features in that
script, let alone bash-dependent ones (IOW, everything is compatible
to the plain old UNIX V7 Bourne shell :).

I don't mind that much.  When building the FreeBSD ports, that can
easily be wired into their Makefile infrastructure.

The build times I'm getting are:

. 1x AthlonXP 1100 workstation         4:30
. 1x Athlon 900 workstation            5:00
. 4x UltraSPARC 296 server (make -j4) 11:00

That seems to be without docs still?
