This should work.  At that point in the script, the pwd should be
build-2/lisp.  And ../motif/server should exist.  Does it?

Looks like -C is swallowing the -P.  It should look more like -C '' -P. 
That is, the -C option should have a value of '', an empty string.

I don't think this part of build-all.sh has changed recently.

Again, this looks like a shell quoting problem.  It should read -C
'x86_netbsd NetBSD'  But the build directory should have been created.

It turns out that my NetBSD virtual box is on a disk that is packed away
somewhere.  (But where?!?!?)

Can add set -x to the scripts and send the output to me so I can look at
what the scripts are doing.  They're not really that complicated.
