While trying to upgrade last night:


all ===> lib/csu/c++
all ===> lib/libarch
all ===> lib/libbz2
all ===> lib/libc
building standard c library
/usr/bin/nm: _strtoq.o: Too many open files in system
/usr/bin/nm: _strtouq.o: Too many open files in system
/usr/bin/nm: a64l.o: Too many open files in system
/usr/bin/nm: abort.o: Too many open files in system
/usr/bin/nm: atexit.o: Too many open files in system
...

syslog shows:

Feb  2 01:46:30 jocelyn syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system
Feb  2 01:46:30 jocelyn syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system
Feb  2 01:46:30 jocelyn /netbsd: vnode: table is full

etc etc.
