My /etc/mk.conf is geared to pkgsrc, I don't see anything relevant to building 
the system.

There was a suggestion to set -std=c++0x or -std=gnu0x; I could use 11 in place 
of 0x but don't know where to put it.

In a special make.conf?  Or build.sh command line?

I think I may need to wait more than a day on NetBSD-current.

I just got through a successful "make buildworld" on FreeBSD 10-stable 
(prerelease).

I see on http://releng.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/builds.cgi

in the build.sh command line, there is a reference to /home/builds/etc/make.conf

but no clue what's in this make.conf.

Knowing that might possibly be helpful.

Or NetBSD is not fit for my hardware.  FreeBSD is much stabler, I don't get the 
comical crashes that I get with NetBSD.

If with NetBSD-current I have USB keyboard and mouse and use more than one 
virtual terminal, keyboard is likely to stop functioning, though not 
immediately.

Usually I can get the keyboard back by unplugging the mouse, but once a few 
hours ago, the system crashed with a spew of green trouble messages 
ehci-related (meaning USB 2.0).
