That was the confusing part, there wasn't anything wrong with the commands.
The remains of the first run, and simply running the command a second time
resolves the issue (albeit taking quite a while).

*>How-To-Repeat:*
mkdir /usr/netbsd-5-1-RC1
cd /usr/netbsd-5-1-RC1
cvs -qd anoncvs%anoncvs.netbsd.org@localhost:/cvsroot co -r netbsd-5-1-RC1 -P 
src
cd ./src
sh build.sh release && sh build.sh iso-image

*>Fix:*
run the command a second time:
sh build.sh release && sh build.sh iso-image
and it completes without error.


as you can see I just used the default targets. There is some
circular dependency (I guess) that has only caused me problems building a
release from a fresh checkout. In the issue, David Holland gave some good
info to focus the problem but I don't have a host or lab up now, so have
not made a followup. Per discussions, I expect this is in 6 RC too.

Regards,
