I sup and rebuild a kernel about once a week.

I'm using a supfile containing:

current release=include host=sup.NetBSD.ORG hostbase=/a/anon_ftp base=/usr
prefix=/usr backup use-rel-suffix delete
current release=ksrc host=sup.netbsd.org hostbase=/a/anon_ftp base=/usr
prefix=/usr backup use-rel-suffix delete

Compiling using the GCC 2.4.5(?) that came with NetBSD-1.1, as well as the
2.7.2 which is on ftp.netbsd.org.

"make includes" has been done (I set it to make symlinks, but that
shouldn't matter)

'config' has been rebuilt from sources matching those on the ftp site. 
File size is 57344 bytes (stripped).

What other items should I rebuild?

This is on a 3/110 with the onboard cg4.
