Thanks, great.

I have successfully built as myself with
$ sh build.sh -D xxx -T yyy -U
and installed with
# make DESTDIR=xxx TOOLDIR=yyy installworld

The only catch was that after the build as user all directories in DESTDIR
were of mode 700. My umask=022. How can I make sure they get mode=755?
I do the install over NFS with root=nobody, so all files must be world
readable.

I like the build.sh functionality and etcupdate. Building NetBSD has much
improved over the last year or so. Thanks again.
