1, system is currently running NetBSD 1.6ZC userland.
2. wipe out /usr/src for the second time.
3. do another cvs checkout
4. ./build.sh -O /usr/obj -T /usr/src/tooldir.NetBSD-1.6ZK-i386 tools
5. cd /usr/src/lib/libvers, build, and install
6. cd usr/src/usr.sbin/kdestroy
7. attempt a build

result:
