Good advice!

/etc/mk.conf is used in system builds - hence the suggestion to try building
without, above.

This is odd, as from your previous message:

>> ===> build.sh command:    ./build.sh -m amd64 -M ../obj.amd64.llvm
>> -B nb20131214-llvm -T ../tooldir.amd64.llvm -V MKLLVM=yes -V

                                    ^^^^
The reason for trying -j1, i.e., a serial build, is again to simplify
the build so that issues of the form "object A hadn't finished building
before it was needed by B in the other parallel make" can be ruled out.
