Actually I'm trying to build kdebase.
but early in the build, I get the following messages.

:  ===>  Patching for kdebase-1.1
:  ===>  Applying NetBSD patches for kdebase-1.1
:  ===>  Configuring for kdebase-1.1
:  creating cache ./config.cache
:  checking host system type... Invalid configuration `--netbsd': machine
`-' not recognized
:  checking target system type... Invalid configuration `--netbsd': machine
`-' not recognized
:  checking build system type... Invalid configuration `--netbsd': machine
`-' not recognized

Then a few minutes later I get...

:  ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify'
:  Try `ltconfig --help' for more information.
:  configure: error: libtool configure failed

But I ran ltconfig manually, and it seemed to recognize my system, so I
don't know why it couldn't find the host system type when I was building
kdebase.

:  max# ./ltconfig ltmain.sh
:  checking host system type... m68k-apple-netbsd1.3.2
:  ...
