I had problems in the past when I tried to install the userland applications.
I follow this procedure:
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/current/#updating
The problem comes when I reboot the system after doing
./build.sh -O ../obj -T ../tools -U install=/
Do you follow the same procedure to update your system?
