I can't supply logs from the nanobsd build unfortunately, the error has 
disappeared since I manually backed out the rev from my SVN checkout. If 
I have time to spare, which is unlikely, I can try to reproduce w/logs.

However, the error message is almost identical to an earlier report 
involving the tinderbox, so this may be enough for you to go on:

I believe Tinderbox in this case is also being used to drive a 
cross-compile. Ruslan has explained why and how "make" is being rebuilt, 
for 7.1->8.x cross compiles this is indeed what's happening.

it would be great to get this sorted, it seems likely to bite other folk.
