The repeat buildworld completed successfully.  I removed the added
"which" and "env", tried again and (twice) got
>>> stage 3: cross tools

I'm inclined to believe there's something strange going on with NFS.
Unfortunately, I turned my AS400 off and when I turned it on again,
there was a loud bang and one of the PSU jumpers vapourised :-(.
This means it's going to be out of action for a while.

I don't suppose anyone has a schematic for an AS400 PSU?
