I checked make.conf already, since that is usually the cause when I have 
such problems. I didn't know about src.conf, I'll have a look at its 
manpage (so, since I don't have one, that can't be the cause of my 
problem either).

I was finally able to do a buildworld by doing it from single user mode.

My guess is that the root of the problem was with either the shell I was 
using or some environment variables. Going to single user mode was just 
the safest way to remove all those possible effects, since I'm not quite 
sure how to do it in another way. But I agree, single user mode itself 
is not likely to help other than that.

I forgot it as well :-)

Thanks,
