I also have had some pkgsrc builds quit (this last week) without any real
error messages for troubleshooting. (In my case, I think
FORCE_PKG_REGISTER was broken but no error message reported this; a few
days later I saw a commit message saying it was really broken and was
fixed.)

I read that make(1) has been changed in the way it reports errors. I see a
patch for make(1) was posted this morning that may improve it for pkgsrc.
