Weird.

Looks fine. All the errors you report are sendmail waking up and being
upset that your aliases file isn't ok. Run "newaliases" and it should be
fine.

Don't. The only reason to make stuff out of here is to build
cross-compilers.

cd /usr/src
make build
(wait)

make build -j 10 would probably help too. When the build gets to where
it's making things in parallel, this will fork 10 processes to make stuff.

Also, you'll probably want to make with DESTDIR set so that you don't
overwrite your running system with the build. You also might have to
re-build some of the compilation tools. Not sure.

Take care,
