The immediate oddity was that make, running in the background, was stopping when the ssh connection dropped. Normally, disconnecting the controlling terminal on a background job doesn't kill the job. > If it is, then that's your problem. The microsd is too slow.

After several restarts of make in www/firefox which all stopped with the same error I tried using the serial console. Make ran without complaint and made considerable progress. When I learned of the -E option to ssh I stopped the make session, set up error logging, ran make clean in www/firefox and started over. Make subsequently ran to completion and produced a runnable www/firefox. This tempts me to think whatevever triggered the error was among the dependencies, which is difficult to understand and much harder to repeat.
