 I have what seems a very similar problem when running a build of
 openoffice-2-devel with WRKDIRPREFIX set to an NFS-mounted directory:
 Intermittently, the build will fail with an error message like the
 following:
 
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 Making: ../unxfbsdi.pro/slo/config.obj
 dmake:  Error: -- Internal Error: Error when calling getcwd()!
 dmake:  Error: -- Internal Error: Error when calling getcwd()!
 ---* tg_merge.mk *---
 
 ERROR: Error 65280 occurred while making /.../gandalf/d/14.1/tmp/ports-7/editors/openoffice.org-2-devel/work/SRC680_m243/starmath/source
 dmake:  Error code 1, while making 'build_instsetoo_native'
 ---*  *---
 *** Error code 255
 
 Stop in /.../gandalf/d/12s1e/SRC/FreeBSD/HEAD/ports/editors/openoffice.org-2-devel.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 The NFS client machine (the one running the build) is running
 RELENG_7_0 as of January 23, the server machine is running
 RELENG_6_3_0_RELEASE. The same has happened when the server was
 still running RELENG_6_2_0_RELEASE.
