Hello,

I am trying to build a kernel (1.6 release) for NetBSD/sparc on a Linux
system (Slackware 8), and build.sh -t seems to stop in a couple different
places.  This is the command I use:

	./build.sh -m sparc -T /home/fission/cross-sparc -t -u

The output (a bit abbreviated) follows:


===> DESTDIR path:
===> TOOLDIR path: /home/fission/cross-sparc

[snip]

dependall ===> cat
cc -O -I/home/fission/src/tools/compat/obj -I/home/fission/src/tools/compat/obj/include  -I/home/fission/src/tools/cat/../compat -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64  -c -o cat.lo.o /home/fission/src/tools/cat/../../bin/cat/cat.c

The start of the offending lines from cat.c :

	[42]	_COPYRIGHT( ...
	[50]	_RCSID( ...
	[263]	errno = EFTYPE;

Looks to me like the compiler is missing an include directory (for those
macros and constants) but I'm not sure where that's supposed to be
defined.

If I comment out those first two lines and then change EFTYPE to 79, cat
will compile, but then the build stops at sunlabel for much the same
reasons (unable to locate includes).

Any ideas, suggestions, etc, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
