Great.  I was beginning to think it only worked for me...

I have not done much testing with NFS-mounted root or /usr so I
haven't seen the "Error code 139" behavior.

You also should comment out the line:
XINC = -nostdinc -I../xinc
in Makefile.sun3 (as the comment implies)

Those would normally come from /usr/include if -nostdinc were absent.

That, and many other errors were introduced when Charles Hannum
went on a crusade through all the ports eradicating "gratuitous
differences" without too much discression as to which were useful.
I was annoyed enough that I didn't feel like fixing it right off.
Sorry.  I'll check in a bunch of fixes today.

I understand completely.  I too have many things going on in my life.
