Compiling/installing ports via NFS - any gotcha's? (while building linux_base-8-8.0_6, "/usr/bin/build-locale-archive: cannot lock new archive: Operation not supported")

[John]

I don't have enough storage on my laptop for the entire ports tree
(surprise, surprise), so I'm trying to "make install" acroread
and jdk14 via NFS mounts from a bigger server.

I'm down to trying to get the specific version of linux_base that
it wants(and I already have the linux kld loaded and linprocfs
mounted).  I have rpc.statd and rpc.lockd running on both systems.

It keeps erroring out with the message in my Subject line:

===>  Patching for linux_base-8-8.0_6

Stop in /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-8.

Any clues for me?
