I'll try to download the whole 1.3a release sooner or later. I am a bit
puzzled by the fact that NetBSD-1.3/arm32 has a later timestamp and so I
supposed it to have (eventually) some bug fixed...

Now, I am wondering if it better to download the kernels for RiscBSD 1.3a or
for NetBSD-1.3/arm32. I am using the NetBSD one and it seems to work OK,
unless I address to the kernel the compiler crashes, the not working
libraries, the faulty Mosaic or the single Xarm-33 crash I have had recently.

I did install c++fix.tar.gz which is, AFAIK, the only compiler/library fix
available on the FTP site.
