OK, thanks. I'm going to give it a try. The odd thing is that in the
whole time that 5 hasn't built for me on this machine, 5-1 has. I tried
looking at the changes in build.sh but I couldn't figure it out.

I've tried building with no mk.conf and with "env -" so I'm thinking
it's an explicit directory problem. I guess I only replied to Greg
Troxel about my last failure:

-----

On my amd64-5.1.0 system, trying to build netbsd-5:

obj ===> compat/amd64/i386/../../../gnu/lib/crtstuff4.amd64
cd: can't cd to /usr/src/compat/amd64/i386/../../../gnu/lib/crtstuff4.amd64
*** [obj-../../../gnu/lib/crtstuff4.amd64] Error code 2

-----

I don't remember trying explicitly declaring obj/release/dest
directories, so I'm trying that right now.
