 I started poking at this again, and I think I see what's causing the
 problem, although I don't know why.
 
 NetBSD-5's 'make' is tripping over the following in ${WRKSRC}/Makefile:
 
    MAKE_SUBDIR  = for dir in $(SUBDIRS); do $(MAKE) -C $$dir $@ || exit 5; done
 
 Looking at the error message, it appears NetBSD-5 'make' doesn't support
 "-C directory".
 
 This is the only package I've attempted to build that uses that feature.
 The Makefile in the previous version of 'xscreensaver' didn't, IIRC.
 
 I guess this means I need to install 'bmake' at a minimum, or go all
 the way and install the bootstrap kit (treat netbsd-5 as a foreign
 platform).
