Well, it hasn't always been in the past, but it will certainly be
bundled in this release. I don't intend to also bundle it in snapshot
(except with a symlink) unless it changes, since it changes so much
more slowly than NetBSD itself does. (I've upgraded my toolchain
once in the past eight months or so.)

Well, as I said, it changes so infrequently there's not much point
in rebuilding. Also, we don't have a set of BSD makefiles; the
thing is still done with GNU configure.
