Ah, OK, I figured out the magical incantation to -DALLOWLOGGING in xterm 
(I had to update the /src/external/mit/... xgterm Makefile, not the one 
the lives in /src/x11/... )

Here's what sysinst reports when trying to unpack the kernel-GENERIC.tgz 
set (after removing all the terminal control escape sequences):

	Status: Running
	Command: progress -zf /mnt2//amd64/binary/sets/kern-GENERIC.tgz
	tar --chroot -xhepf -

	Shared object "libpthread.so.1" not found
	tar: End of archive volume 1 reached
	tar: Sorry, unable to determine archive format.

Does anyone know how to properly resolve this?  (Include the shared 
library in the sysinst cd-rom image?)
