 So something went wrong with your installation. How did you install
 or update? Probably easiest way to recover is fetch comp.tgz from
 the right daily build and extract that manually.

 Usually the base compiler is used, unless the version is too old.

 There is no developement part in the netbsd-8 stable branch, what is there
 right now will in the near future turn into NetBSD 8.1.
 
 The developement branch (and its snapshots) can be found on
 http://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/latest/amd64
 
 but everything is fine if you want to stick with 8.0_STABLE.
