Does your PPro/200 run NetBSD? In my case, the machine where I want to
compile runs Winblows :-( , and I want to boot NetBSD from the install CD.
AFAIK, make build doesn't just build the binaries, it also installs them, so
it needs a place to put them. I want to build them in an empty directory and
then copy everything in that directory to / on the NetBSD machine.
