You also need to make install the new system makefiles in src/share/mk/
so you can rebuild the kvm library (libkvm.old) in src/lib so you can
rebuild kvm_mkdb which now creates the kvm db as /var/db/kvm.db instead of
/var/lib/kvm_netbsd.db so that you can now use the new versions of ps,
netstat systat & w. (since the old ones won't work) (whew!)

Oh and you need to modify the bsd.own.mk makefile in /usr/share/mk:

# don't try to generate PIC versions of libraries on machines
# which don't support PIC.
.if (${MACHINE_ARCH} == "mips") || (${MACHINE_ARCH} == "vax") ||\
    (${MACHINE_ARCH} == "arm32") ||\
    ((${MACHINE_ARCH} == "alpha") && !defined(ELF_TOOLCHAIN))
NOPIC=
.endif

(just add the arm32 line and make sure the "\"'s are right) other wise the
kvm lib will try to compile with -fpic which fails ;-)))

P.S. the new ftp with the progress bar is cute  ;-)

P.P.S if you don't have the full source tree I can tar up the binaries...
