I see you didn't pass -T ${TOOLDIR} option to build.sh

The "install" line suggests that some part of the build thinks 
that the TOOLDIR is "/tooldir.NetBSD-6.1.4-amd64", which makes 
no sense, and the invocation of /usr/src/tools/binstall/xinstall 
suggests that it thinks you are not using an OBJDIR, which also 
makes no sense.

Were there any error or warning messages printed by build.sh 
before it got to "===> Updated makewrapper:" ? What TOOLDIR path 
did build.sh print?

If you can't build tools, nothing else is going to work, but ...

... now it seems to think that your TOOLDIR is 
/usr/src/tooldir.NetBSD-6.1.4-amd64, not the 
/tooldir.NetBSD-6.1.4-amd64 that appeared earlier.

The host platform name is embedded in the default TOOLDIR name, so 
it's fine for it to say NetBSD-6.1.4.
