I've run into the same message when building things for a NetBSD/MIPS
target.   I had assumed it was some error on my end.  

The problem with this message is that it is completely content-free.
It doesn't contain a meaningful problem statement, and it doesn't say
anything at all about where the problem is.  It doesn't even indicate
what input file triggered the problem!   How is a user supposed to fix
a failed build when this error message appears?
