Done.

Normally, they are not difficult to produce. The makeing of them requires
some disk-space for:
    - the -current sources
    - the object files
    - a complete NetBSD installation
    - the resulting tarballs

and patience... On a TT030 a flawless build takes about 2+ days...
     
What I usually do is building a complete system using DESTDIR. This allows
you to work without overwriting your current tree. A drawback is that you
need the extra space of a complete installation to do this.
I think you will have to (cd /usr/src/share/mk; make install) without setting
DESTDIR to get your makefiles up-to-date before moving to /usr/src and
typing 'make build'. From than on, it boils down to periodically checking the
makelog and fixing some small lossages that stem from the fact that you are
building from an 'old' system.

The Profibuch has hardware docs of the TT (no Falcon or Hades). You could
send a mail to Sybex. I can lookup the ISBN number for you.
