agosminor.nightly.  I created a fresh sandbox backed by agosminor.nightly
and did a simple "build" in the kernel directory.  I *did* get a failure
due to an NFS timeout, but it was after the depend step.

I mount these filesystems "soft".  If you mount them "hard", then I
would guess a server failure would turn into a hang for the duration
of the server outage.  Could this be what you are seeing?

Another thing to try, if you have the time and disk space, is a

	mklinks -copy kernel

which will reduce the amount of NFS dependence.
