No. I am using CVS. ie:
cd /usr/src && \
env CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -danoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot -qz3 up -Pd

Yes. For the toolchain:
./build.sh -t
For userland:
./build.sh -D /disk2/f/dest

'make includes' by itself has saved me on many, many occasions when something in
the tree wouldn't build with the currently-installed includes. Given that the
problem here appears to be an attempt to use a structure member that does not
exist, I thought that make includes was worth trying, since it might have been
added since the last time I built.

Multiple times.

I've done that before in cases like that, but it does not always work. Usually
it doesn't make a difference if the problem is what is in current at the moment
- such as this case - it'll still fail when the delete/checkout is done.

I was just informed to try rev 1.40 of the offending file, and it's built past
that point now, and looks to be continuing along on the build just fine.
