Totally fair to suggest local building.

I just ran a build with work on a USB3 ssd, and with MAKE_JOBS=8, got a
failure, but re-running make was ok.

So I suspect some issue with thunderbird/-j.  Maybe I'll figure it out,
maybe not.

I will also try a filesystem tester fromm xfs that I heard about,
apparently not in pkgsrc.   Other benchmark/tester suggestions welcome.
