 It would be helpful to know what file this is associated with. Try
 "grep gname=root" in METALOG.sanitized (I think that's the right file)
 which appears in destdir.evbarm, which according to your build log is
 here: /home/np/netbsd/usr/src/obj/destdir.evbarm
 
 Most likely what's happening is that earlier in the build the build
 host group name is leaking in where it shouldn't be.
