Your shell is enforcing an insufficient resource limit on the amount of 
memory you can use.  You may want to unlimit memoryuse, datasize, etc. 
Also, I seem to recall that there is some relationship between "maxusers" 
and the default resource limits, but I forget exactly what they are ...

You don't want to use GNU make(1) when building the system; the kernel and 
userland build process depends on features of NetBSD's make(1).
