Firstly, NetBSD does a just-in-time su(1) at install time, if the
effective uid is not 0 - there is no need to build applications as
root. i.e. there is no need to use sudo to build the thing.

Next, if you want to find out what's going on under the covers,
use

	make PKG_DEBUG_LEVEL=2

and you'll get shedloads of debug output. That should help you to
place the error better.
