My build host is:

claw 5.0_RC2 NetBSD 5.0_RC2 (GENERIC) #0: Tue Mar  3 12:34:03 UTC 2009
builds%b1.netbsd.org@localhost:/home/builds/ab/netbsd-5/i386/200903030000Z-obj/home/builds/ab/netbsd-5/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
 i386

I just removed the contents of /usr/obj, and did a cvs update -z1 -d -P -A
from cvs.netbsd.org in /usr/src.  I don't get the error you get when I
run ./build.sh -U -O /usr/obj distribution, nor when I run ./build.sh -U
distribution.

My /etc/mk.conf is empty.

I wonder what the crucial difference here is.
