Attemps to build a full release on a sparc fail on binstall:

*** Error code 1


Context:
* April 5th -current
* ro nfs mounted /usr/src
* rw null mounted /usr/obj
* SS10 platform
* April 5th -current OS previously compiled and installed in /:
  NetBSD qqq 1.5ZC NetBSD 1.5ZC (QQQ) #0: Tue Apr  5 13:14:47 EST 2002     
root@qqq:/BUILD/ICARE sparc
* ./build.sh -d -r -O /usr/obj -D /BUILD/destdir -R /BUILD/releasedir -T 
/BUILD/tooldir

I already tested several combinations, among them installing the -current OS 
in /, and carefully kept using the same sources without updating or altering 
them (ro). A complete build takes more than 24 hours (this is while this 
mail regarding April 5th is post today). I am now trying the game with a rw 
copy of /usr/src, probably the last try before giving up and waiting the 
official ready to use 1.5.3...

Any hint?

Sam
