Hello Taylor.

Trying to to patch the program in the functions you mentioned I arrived 
to warnings as errors like a function that where in the code but not 
used (I think it was acpitimer_test() ) when compiling GENERIC. Changing 
the code to overcome that arrived to an error when compiling  the am7990 
driver. So I started again with a clean source without any modifications 
in ACPI just to test that the standard GENERIC kernel could be built and 
arrived to the same error, compilation stops at that point.

I would like to know if I am doing something wrong before continuing. 
¿is it ok to build NetBSD-current from NetBSD-10.1 RELEASE?

Sorry for my ignorance, be pacient.
