What release/version of source/kernel do you have? In this case

Yah, I fixed the diagnostic messages last week but didn't commit the
mods until today. Also, ttyEcfg wasn't being created, you can do that
with:
	mknod /dev/ttyEcfg c 25 255

There is a top level Makefile for xsrc that has a `make build' command.

Although, I have to say, there isn't much reason to be building xsrc
right now. Binaries that work on the Multia are in the 1.4_ALPHA test
release, and these will run on kernels from any recent netbsd-current
or release branch compile.
