 I used gcc 3.3.3
 the standard on netbsd 3.1 (?, installed the OS a few days ago)
 
 
 I downloaded it (from MAIN as said) from the CVS, only the src/usr.bin/ftp
 I went to that directory and wrote make :)
 It tells me this:
 #   compile  ftp/progressbar.o
 cc -O2   -Werror   -DINET6    -c    progressbar.c
 progressbar.c:96: warning: duplicate `const'
 *** Error code 1
 
 It compiles nicely with the asterix crhistos suggested above.
