I get the following error when I try and build NetBSD 1.6_STABLE (from
cvs as of yesterday) on a 1.6L system (source from 3 days ago):

# ./build.sh -D /m5/netbsd-1.6/destdir -T /m5/netbsd-1.6/tools -R /m5/netbsd-1.6/release

[SNIP]

Suspecting another pax-as-tar problem, I replaced tar with tar15 (from
NetBSD 1.5) in the Makefile in src/tools/toolchain/obj.i386/build/gcc.
The 'cd: can't cd to /m5/netbsd...' message is still there but the
NetBSD 1.5 tar does not produce the 'tar: Sorry, unable to determine
archive format'.

Is this a toolchain issue? pax-as-tar issue?
