I used sysbuild for Netbsd-6 current on both i386 and
amd64

Now I build NetBSD-7. Twice a week for i386 and once a 
week for amd64. 
    
On my systems sysbuild4cron from installed sysbuild has
an error $SYSBUILD_BINDIR="/usr/pkg" instead of 
/usr/pkg/bin so I moved sysbuild to /usr/local.

When I have build failures it's usually one of:
my error in a kernel.conf, interrupted internet
connection, corrupted downloaded source file.
