I don't think bobcat builds are a priority for this workstation: they
can still be done on build servers if necessary.  Like I mentioned in
the past, trying to build BSD on my debian box led to serious
headaches, including our build process overwriting /usr/include.

You can find a suitable bsd make in the freebsd-buildutils package.
Not sure how you would do it without that as I don't think there's a
"make" bootstrap process when building our BSD.  Or any BSD.
