I haven't kept any manual records, but uname -a reports
FreeBSD www.zefox.com 14.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT #39 main-9f135336f5: Fri Jun 16 02:18:02 PDT 2023     [email protected]:/usr/obj/usr/src/arm.armv7/sys/GENERIC arm

Since my original post git pull found a few updates and I restarted buildworld
It has failed also, but with what looks like an unrelated error. These problems
emerged after a silent hang using -j3, followed by power-cycling and reboot. -j3
was backed down to -j2 and buildworld restarted, with the mischief reported here
ensuing.
 
I'm starting to wonder if there's some undetected corruption in either /usr/src
or /usr/obj. Perhaps I'd best run make cleandir twice and start over. That will
likely take at least  few days. This is a mechanical hard disk setup, with 1 GB
swap. Boot is via microSD using only bootcode.bin, with the usual msdos partition
on the hard disk.  

Is there a more expedient approach under the circumstances? 

Thanks for writing!
