This is exactly what I get with a GENERIC kernel

in compile:
rm -rf GENERIC

in config directory:
/usr/sbin/config GENERIC

in compile/GENERIC:
make depend
make

Notes:
1) the /usr/src is on a NFS directory running on NetBSD i386.
2) Did a rdate just before make depend
3) path variable does not inlcude /usr/sbin or /sbin

Nothing pressing right now - I just wondered what I might be missing.
