It is a six core Xeon E5-1660 with HT and 16GB memory, build.sh for
amd64 and i386, all of release, iso-image, live-image and
install-image takes about 90 minutes. BUILD-NetBSD doubles the threads
- that's where the 24 comes from.

Well, there may be something. The build I showed the log above
completed without a problem, I then did 'INSTALL-NetBSD install',
synced and rebooted, losing the connection to the host (I was at home
at the time, did the work over VPN). This morning I found the system
hanging, still with the X display from yesterday, tried to interrupt
and do a blind 'reboot 0x104', to no avail; I then reset the machine
and rebuilt everything from scratch (erasing the old obj directory and
cvs updating). Now it seems fine. I usually am not too bothered when I
have an occasional glitch - it is -current, after all, I wait for a
while, update, rebuild and carry on. In my view -current is actually
very stable for an operating system in constant update.
