I've been struggling for quite a long time to get a snapshot built.

At first, I was struggling with this on an R5K INDY.  This machine
would regularly hang--no pattern to when or where.  Only power
cycling the machine would get it going again.  

So, this weekend I moved to an R4400, incase I had a hardware
problem.  I should mention that the R5K works fine using one
of my snapshots from late December.

On the R4400 now, the following race condition occurs:

install ===> libc
STRIP=/sgimips/src/tools/obj/tools.NetBSD-1.5Z-mipseb/bin/mipseb--netbsd-strip
/sgimips/src/tools/obj/tools.NetBSD-1.5Z-mipseb/bin/nbinstall  -l s -r libc.a /usr/lib/libc_pic.a
STRIP=/sgimips/src/tools/obj/tools.NetBSD-1.5Z-mipseb/bin/mipseb--netbsd-strip
/sgimips/src/tools/obj/tools.NetBSD-1.5Z-mipseb/bin/nbinstall  -c -p -r -o root -g wheel -m 444  libc.so.12.82 /usr/lib/libc.so.12.82
STRIP=/sgimips/src/tools/obj/tools.NetBSD-1.5Z-mipseb/bin/mipseb--netbsd-strip
/sgimips/src/tools/obj/tools.NetBSD-1.5Z-mipseb/bin/nbinstall  -l s -r libc.so.12.82  /usr/lib/libc.so.12
STRIP=/sgimips/src/tools/obj/tools.NetBSD-1.5Z-mipseb/bin/mipseb--netbsd-strip
/sgimips/src/tools/obj/tools.NetBSD-1.5Z-mipseb/bin/nbinstall  -l s -r libc.so.12.82  /usr/lib/libc.so
Segmentation fault - core dumped
*** Error code 139

Once that libc.so link is created, the majority of dynamic executables
on the machine are rendered inoperable, resulting in the same
Segfault.

I'm at a loss as to what I should do at this point.  Any suggestions?
Even more importantly, has anyone been able to build a snapshot this
year?
