"make: Nothing to be done for `ncat'." is because there is a directory
called "ncat". You would get the same output if you did "make docs" or
"make mswin32". You need "make ncat_build" instead. Take a look at the
contents of Makefile.in.

Also, the general solution to this problem is to use a cross-compiler on
a system with more disk space.
