Building on FreeBSD 3.2

Hi;

I'm trying to build SN 4.5.2 on FreeBSD 3.2, and am failing miserably. 

[ceo ~/me/SN452-source/snavigator]$ make
make  all-recursive
Making all in misc
Making all in libutils
Making all in db
Making all in ../parsers/cpp/cpplib
make: don't know how to make ../../db/PORT/libdb.a. Stop
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.

It looks like the make process is in SN452-source/snavigator/db, builds
SN452-source/snavigator/parsers/cpp/cpplib from there, and then goes to
SN452-source/db/PORT, which is in the original source tree rather than the
parallel build tree, SN452-source/snavigator/db/PORT. Since configure was
run in the build tree, there's no Makefile there and nothing was built.

Is there something subtle wrong with my system (which wouldn't surprise me
in the least), or am I just missing something? Upgrading to FreeBSD 4.0
isn't an option, unfortunately.
