> When I was trying to setup NetBSD 1.6.2 compiler with macppc tools on ubuntu 10.0 machine, the command was ./build.sh -D /usr/src/destdir.macppc -m macppc tools , I got the following error:

do you mean netbsd 1.6.2 (from 2004) or 6.1.2 (from 2013)?

the former has been unsupported by the project since 2006, so any fixes
there will likely have to come from yourside.  it looks like you need
to either find and the bugs in the old binutils, or, disable the check
in the host (ubuntu) libc.

if the latter, we can and should be able to fix this.
