well I'll see if I have any better luck with the more
conservative CXXFLAGS and the removal of -j5 from
MAKEOPTS. 

I have a conditional build directive for the system
build so I can update ports and sys separately as
having SUPFILE and PORTSUPFILE set seems to update
both whether I'm in /usr/ports or /usr/sys with a
"make update". If -j5 is safe for the FreeBSD build
I'll cut Makeopts into that knob, I hope thats the
right way to use that term...
