If I try and run build.sh simply (e.g. ./build.sh -t -O 
/vol/NetBSD/build/i386/obj), the build breaks with following message

	dependall ===> cap_mkdb
	...
	cc -O -I/vol/NetBSD/build/i386/obj/tools/compat
	  -I/vol/NetBSD/build/i386/obj/tools/compat/include

I did some digging and eventually thought to myself. Why is the system trying 
to work with a compatibility library that only seems to be tested under 
Solaris and Linux, so I found NOCOMPATLIB and tried setting this in my 
environment.

The command NOCOMPATLIB=1 ./build.sh -t -O /vol/NetBSD/build/i386/obj now 
gives be trouble earlier in the build process

My I switched on debuging flags for make, and SRCS and and OBJS seems to get 
set correctly such that the source for string_to_flags gets pulled in from ls, 
but as can been seen from the log, it doesn't happen.

So, why me?
