Thanks Mark. I was able to build opendjdk thanks to your analysis.

The user id shown prior to chown looks garbage to me.

I don't know whether it matters, though my pkgsrc is on an ext2 partition
from where I mount it on NetBSD.

Also both your and mine build was not at standard location /usr/pkgsrc. (I
am sure it should not matter. Just trying to spot similarities.)

I have faced a problem in the past where the uid of file's owner was
garbage and chowing it helped. Don't remember the context, but it wasn't a
build related issue.

Relation between garbage uid and build process is not clear as well.
