crunchgen: make error: cd: can't cd to 
/usr/obj/usr/5.2/src/rescue/rescue/../../contrib/tcsh/nls/spanish

crunchgen: make error: cd: can't cd to 
/usr/obj/usr/5.2/src/rescue/rescue/../../contrib/tcsh/nls/ukrainian

Run "make -f rescue.mk" to build crunched binary.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/5.2/src/rescue/rescue.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/5.2/src/rescue.

Stop in /usr/5.2/src.

After another day of tiring waiting I can say that this approach makes 
no difference, except that I now get the first error again:

crunchgen: make error: cd: can't cd to 
/usr/obj/usr/src/rescue/rescue/../../contrib/tcsh/nls/ukrainian

Run "make -f rescue.mk" to build crunched binary.
*** Error code 1

as before: Some other languages preceding and some levels of nested 
makes following.
