 This works fine on my amd64 with 5.99.29, though with USE_DESTDIR
 turned on.

 The fact that it prints "*** Error code 1" without actually reporting
 any errors leads me to suspect that something failed that ordinarily
 shouldn't and (given that PR 43600 shows similar symptoms, and I can't
 reproduce it either) also to wonder if you have something corrupted on
 your system somewhere...

 I certainly can't rule that out -- per kern/42104, I've certainly had =
 file system adventures.  I will note that I did just rebuild very many =
 packages without (other) incident.  I can build a new system, though =
 this doesn't really seem to be the best time to try today's kernel.  I =
 can also delete all packages and rebuild everything, perhaps after =
 running 'fsck -f'.  Any other suggestions?  (Well, I guess that memtest =
 is always in order.)

 Those all seem awfully drastic... although I guess fscking can't hurt.
 Also try cvs update in pkgsrc/mk and make sure nothing's marked
 modified that isn't supposed to be.

 Another good diagnostic step would be to run the install with
 PKG_DEBUG_LEVEL=2 to see what's actually failing. That may make the
 problem obvious.

Whether or not this was a local problem, it's expired: ruby18 is no
