There is an input file!  It comes from the left-hand side of the '|' 
pipe operator!

The input is passed to nbgenassym which will eventually invoke the 
compiler identified in CC=....i486--netbsdelf-pcc

It appears that the invocation of pcc is "not quite right" (TM) since it 
(pcc) is complaining about its command-line arguments.
