What does the timestamp of parse.h say?

Then you don't have to use "cross" script.
Just setting optimization options for COPTS (or DBG)
in /etc/mk.conf is enough.

"Cross-script" should be used when the target system
requires different toolchains from the host's ones
to build binaries.

No. The default binaries should work on all supported machines.
Pentium and later CPUs still can run i386 binaries but
the converse is not.

Can you reproduce the same error everytime (even after removing parse.h)?
