This is easily explained. The pkgsrc bmake(1) is pretty old and it
parses `--version' as `-v ersion'. This tries to print the value of a
non-existent variable `ersion' then stops.

The base make(1) seems to discard `--version' then tries to execute the
stuff in Makefile where:

> nb10rc2$ m=/usr/bin/make ; pwd ; cksum $m ; $m --version 2>&1 | head
> /nfs-pkg/pkgsrc-release
> 1759555249 243976 /usr/bin/make

that happens.

Since you said you're using the same pkgsrc tree on different OSes, are
the workdirs also different? The bootstrap phase would've failed, but,
I don't know what happens after that. Does pkgsrc use the same workdir
on all the arches once bootstrapping is done?

I think this is very likely a local issue, and should be fixed if you
begin from scratch. Use different prefixes and workdirs.

PS. I'm not on any of the pkgsrc mailing lists (I only saw this bug
because it was originally filed against `bin'), so you'll have to
CC: me if you want me to see it. (I look into the pkgsrc lists only
sporadically.)
