   | just wanted to know wether I was doing something wrong.

No, nothing wrong at all, you're correctly fetching our broken
source trees, which are "correctly" failing to build...

You shouldn't normally need -A on the cvs update though, that's
needed only after you have updated to some other version, and
want to forget that and go back to head.

If you want to try something that should build now, do

	cvs update -r netbsd-11 -dP

(the -P here is redundant, the branch switch implies it, but
it is good practice to specify on all cvs update commands)

This will switch your sources to the netbsd-11 branch (you'll only
need the -r option once, then as long as you don't use -A, you'll
remain on that branch (which gets fare less frequent changes
than HEAD does, there can be weeks between any updates).

A later update with -A (and no -r) will return you to HEAD.

Thanks so much Robert for your explanation, I appreciatte it very much and I understand it better now. I am going to try NetBSD-11 and see what happens.

Regards.
