 It does seem like anoncvs.NetBSD.org is currently down, and I've
 contacted the NetBSD project admins to let them know.
 
 Please use "bmake" to answer (1) and (2).  For question (3), there is
 a symlink located in the work directory under the .tools/bin directory
 and I would like to know the target of that symlink.
