<Short of it, MP kernel doesn't build, rest of release does, so 
releng will work again if GENERIC-MP can be sorted>


Hi guys,
I have an AlphaStation 200 4/166 running:

NetBSD alpha 1.6Z NetBSD 1.6Z (prez) #0: Tue Sep 16 11:10:00 EDT 2003 
mikeride@
alpha:/usr/src/sys/arch/alpha/compile/prez alpha

I'm working on updating that as well as my Macs to a more -current 
current. I had issues using my macppc as the host with the nfs 
sources on the alpha, so I moved to trying to compile on the alpha. I 
deleted the obj, dest & release directories & recreated them. The 
first run through on Jan 14, it stopped building GENERIC-MP. Command 
was:

./build.sh -O /usr/obj-alpha -D /usr/destdir-alpha -R 
/usr/release-alpha release

On the 17th, I tried again (having updated between the tries), adding 
-u to save some time on the poor 166 MHz, & it again failed again 
building the MP kernel. This morning, I changed the GENERIC-MP file & 
commented out the 2 lines, since I don't care about it at all (even 
though it's a hot topic lately ;). On that run through, it ended up 
with an flist error, with a libc.so change from 12.109 to 12.110 so 
there were 2 files leftover in the destdir (but at least the 
compilation went through). I'm currently running through a -u build 
again but am confident it should work.

I started downloading the Jan 3 releng release to update if needed 
(that's the latest success), but it seems I'll be able to get through 
my own build & won't need it. My email is mainly to point out that if 
"we" can figure out why the MP kernel won't build, then the releng 
releases will be successful again (I wouldn't have a clue, so my use 
of "we" really means "you" ;).

Thanks for your time,
Mike
