My primary build machine is a FreeBSD box.  -current only needs a
couple of sumple workarounds to go all the way through make release.

. short path name of the netbsd src tree, lest you bump into rather
  small MAX_ARGS.  E.g. /export/netbsd/cvs/src is too long, so i just
  mount it as /nb/src - which is ok.  This is a fundamental limitation
  of the OS.

. ac_cv_header_sys_endian_h=no in the environment to force it to use
  compat sys/endian.h.  This should be fixed properly, but I'm just
  lazy.

1.6 probably lacks some of the fixes committed to -current to improve
FreeBSD support.
