build.sh build fails on i386/vmware host.

[yancm%SDF.ORG@localhost]

I've been tracking current on a vmware i386 virtual machine for a few
years...

I'm presently at: NetBSD 5.99.55 i386

Upon my latest update of the source tree, I am getting a couple of
uncharacteristic issues and I do not see this mentioned in the UPDATING
document.

#1 After I removed /usr/obj and /usr/tools I used the following...
./build.sh -O ../obj -T ../tools -u distribution

This proceeds briefly, then fails with:

#    create  compat/atoll.d
/usr/src/../tools/bin/nbhost-mkdep -f atoll.d --      -I. -I./include
-I/usr/src/tools/compat -I/usr/src/tools/compat/sys 
-DHAVE_NBTOOL_CONFIG_H=1 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D__DBINTERFACE_PRIVATE 
/usr/src/tools/compat/../../lib/libc/stdlib/atoll.c
sh: /usr/src/../tools/bin/nbhost-mkdep: not found

There is no /usr/tools/bin/nbhost-mkdep !

in /usr/obj/tools, there is a host-mkdep, so I copied it into
/usr/tools/bin/nbhost-mkdep

And, upon repeating the above build.sh command, things proceed for a
while...then...

dependall ===> lib/libppath
#     build  libppath/libppath.a

-----
I tried to move some files around and tweek the Makefiles to make this
work, but lost patience...it's a bit confusing because some of the files
are in src/lib and some are in src/common/lib and the src/lib seems to
point at the one in src/common...

Suggestions or fixes?
