I found the problem.....

I was using -j 4 on the build.sh distribution, I took this off and it 
worked. It seems some of the dependencies aren't quite right. I also 
noticed during the compile stage, it would fail occassionally. A restart 
would then work - again these disappeared with no -j 4.

Also in the scripts in src/distrib/set they have /bin/sh as the 
interpreter. This can cause problems in a cross compile environment 
where, Eg in solaris, the posix sh is in /usr/xpg4/bin. Changing the 
interpreter to:
	#!/usr/bin/env sh

seems to address this (this is used in build.sh)
