I have a 1.6Z kernel running right now, and tons of things are not working.
I've got COMPAT_16 in the running kernel, but ipnat is completely
non-functional, and userland will not finish building. It dies in gcc3.
Should I remove the gcc3 options, build a gcc2 toolchain, and build userland
with that? I can't backup to my last working kernel because I, under the
advice from a NetBSD developer last night, updated libc/libpthread, and even
if I re-link them to the old libraries, booting my (once working) 1.6X
kernel causes everything to die with illegal instruction.
