followed by six identical error messages, and then the final
   report.  FreeBSD's make doesn't have "-d e", so I guess that one
   of the "sets" scripts doesn't refer to TOOLDIR/nbmake and just
   uses "make", but I looked for that for a while, and couldn't see
   where it was happening.


this would be worse on a system with 'gmake' as 'make' as gmake
-de enables everything debugging... really really verbose.
