   | Building the netbsd-10 branch on a Debian 12 host fails at an early
   | stage with an error message like
 
 "early stage" == "make clean" (from before anything has been built).
 
   | The problem started with the pullup commit

 That's setting the date (etc) for MKREPRO - it needs to be guarded
 by a test which checks that the make target isn't one of the clean
 variety (timestamps aren't needed for cleaning).
 
 The version in HEAD is done differently, but I'm guessing that the
 necessary make features aren't in -10.
 
 A workaround, until it is fixed, would be to run the build with -u,
 so no make clean happens.
