Build a new config binary and use that; the one in NetBSD 1.6 does not
recognise new directives that are used in -current.

It's probably easier if you extract all of the sources (not just
sys.tgz) into a separate place and use "build.sh -k KERNELNAME"
to build new tools (without affecting your NetBSD 1.6 tools or
includes or libraries under /usr/{bin,include,lib,sbin}), and then
build a kernel with those tools.
