So I started up a from-scratch "rebuild self"
-j buildworld buildkernel via an ssh over
Ethernet session. (This may minimize
interrupt overhead vs. the output text
scrolling the serial console?)

30+ minutes into the build:

I'm seeing figures like (the high so far):

hw.cpufreq.temperature: 49137
dev.cpu.0.temperature: 49.1C

(Such pairs give some idea of the
fairly short term variability.)

I'm only bothering to look once
a minute or so:

# while (true); do sleep 60 ; sysctl hw.cpufreq.temperature =
dev.cpu.0.temperature ; done

So far the widest fairly-short-term variation
was in:

hw.cpufreq.temperature: 45727
dev.cpu.0.temperature: 45.6C


FYI: The build reported:

make[1]: "/usr/fbsd/mm-src/Makefile.inc1" line 339: SYSTEM_COMPILER: =
Determined that CC=3Dcc matches the source tree.  Not bootstrapping a =
cross-compiler.
make[1]: "/usr/fbsd/mm-src/Makefile.inc1" line 344: SYSTEM_LINKER: =
Determined that LD=3Dld matches the source tree.  Not bootstrapping a =
cross-linker.


Later I'll report the maximum(s) observed. But it will
be a few hours for the build to complete.
