} /etc/mk.conf is used in system builds - hence the suggestion to try building

} This is odd, as from your previous message:

} The reason for trying -j1, i.e., a serial build, is again to simplify
} the build so that issues of the form "object A hadn't finished building
} before it was needed by B in the other parallel make" can be ruled out.

     "-j1" is not the same as leaving out "-j" completely and can
have different failure modes.  If you want to try a non-parallel
build, it is best to leave out "-j" completely.
