I've run into this sort of thing a few times with building netbsd-1-4.
"make install" doesn't install everything; "includes" and "depend"
install things too. I find it usually works, after "make build", to do
"make BUILD=1 UPDATE=1 DESTDIR=... RELEASEDIR=... {build,release}".
The "BUILD=1" has the disadvantage of forcing everything to relink,
but it increases the odds of success the first time through.
