When you get to the kernel, the only thing that should be needed
(this applies more generally) is to clean up
	sys/arch/<targ>/config/Makefile.<targ>
some things to check:
	o	change strip to ${STRIP} (with a default
		of strip).
	o	Some NetBSD specific options used by some
		architectures such as:
		strip -d VS gnu-strip --strip-debug (?)
		ld -z (????)
		ld -T 0 VS gnu-ld -Ttext 0
	o	Addition of -nostdinc to kernel includes path
	o	Check that lorder uses ${NM} (It should
		by now)
Since your host is AIX, you may encounter other more taxing problems.
