 I believe I have found the issue.
 
 The line in question that was failing was this:
 
         my $atime = stat($file)->atime || die $!;
 
 The filesystem containing the ports work directory was mounted noatime.
 
 The first file that was failing was charsetTitles.properties:
 
 [[[
 > find . -name charsetTitles.properties | xargs ls -lu
 -rw-r--r--  1 8482  wheel  4885 Aug  1 23:04 ./OOo_1.1.5/moz.runtime/unxfbsd.pro/misc/build/mozilla/intl/uconv/src/charsetTitles.properties
 -rw-r--r--  1 8482  wheel  4385 Jan  1  1970 ./OOo_1.1.5/moz.runtime/unxfbsd.pro/misc/build/mozilla/l10n/langpacks/en-DE/chrome/en-DE/global/locale/charsetTitles.properties
 -rw-r--r--  1 8482  wheel  4385 Jan  1  1970 ./OOo_1.1.5/moz.runtime/unxfbsd.pro/misc/build/mozilla/l10n/langpacks/en-GB/chrome/en-GB/global/locale/charsetTitles.properties
 ]]]
 
 As you can see, two of those files have no atime set - the timestamp 
 therefore has a numeric value of 0. Consequently the stat call _appears_ 
 to fail mysteriously.
 
 There are obviously several "workarounds" - don't use noatime; get rid 
 of the "|| die $!", etc.
 
 Hope this helps.

 We thought time travel was impossible. But that was now and this is then.
