Correct me if I'm wrong, you are doing a 'make buildworld' on the "big"
machine and then mounting /usr/src and /usr/ports on the "small" machine
and then trying to do a 'make installworld' on the "small" machine.

If this is correct therein lies the problem you are running into. When you
do a 'buildworld' everything that is built is stored under /usr/obj,
nothing in /usr/src changes. When you are mounting your /usr/src on the
"small" machine you aren't showing the "small" machine everything you just
built for it. You need to not only export /usr/src from the "big" machine,
but also export /usr/obj and mount both respectively on the "small"
machine. This would lead to the reason your tool-chain isn't being seen on
the "small" machine and why it then fails when you try to do an install
world.

If I'm wrong in any of these assumptions please give us explicit details
as to what you are mounting from where to where, what commands you are
tying and on what machine you are typing them.
