>Description:
	I tried to update my system last night, and again tonight, with the
	same results.  So, I am assuming that it's not a transient problem
	or such.

	The build fails when building a very-nearly-GENERIC kernel:

#   compile  socrates/exec_conf.o

*** BUILD ABORTED ***

	As near as I can tell, {register64_t} is defined ONLY for the SPARC
	port.
>How-To-Repeat:
	On NetBSD/amd64, attempt to build a kernel from recent sources.

	(The line causing the error was committed about 3 or 4 days
	ago, I believe.)
>Fix:
	Probably just putting a

	typedef long register64_t;

	...in the amd64 types.h file will take care of that.  (In fact,
	I intend to do exactly that after I send this report, so that
	I can continue the build.)


	If you are not trying to build a distribution, as I am, it
	would probably be enough to just not ask for 32-bit
	compatibility in your kernel config.
