Hum, yes. Forgot about that.

That's quite convoluted. I've built NetBSD 1.5 that way, and thought 
build.sh was to make things easier. Cross-building NetBSD was 
intended to be possible from many platforms, so it's strange that the 
(supposedly portable) tool build should break on newer NetBSD 
versions...

Maybe I should try cygwin as host platform instead?  ;)
