make[1]: Cannot open `.' (Permission denied)

Hi!

I was doing a limited bulk build on today's current/amd64, and only
libreoffice was left, when it failed like this:

[build HPX] zh-TW/helpcontent2/source/text/swriter/guide
[build HPX] zh-TW/helpcontent2/source/text/swriter/librelogo

I'm used to gmake rarely failing randomly, but this usually looks
different.

There is nothing in /var/log/messages, and the permissions of
/usr/pkgsrc/misc/libreoffice are fine for the pbulk user (otherwise
the build wouldn't have started anyway).

I had such a make(1) problem before:

http://gnats.netbsd.org/42484

but there were fixes committed for that in 2013. Perhaps they were not
sufficient.

The bulk build clients are in sandboxes that look like this:

tmpfs on /archive/sandboxes/client3 type tmpfs (local)
ptyfs on /archive/sandboxes/client3/dev/ptyfs type ptyfs (local)
procfs on /archive/sandboxes/client3/proc type procfs (local)

Worth a PR, or re-opening the old one?
