hardware (errors on memory or disk)

BSD make is different from GNU make- so you have to set up not only 
make, but also the whole toolchain- LLVM and so on

I didn't know this one, I am using: svn0.eu.FreeBSD.org
Probably you want to check out base/release/10.1.0/

See: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/svn.html

It probably doesn't make sense to compile HEAD/ STABLE (the development 
branch), since there are too many changes.

  Michael!
