  Well, I'd say it was fixed already, and you're just unlucky enough to catch
it at the wrong time.

  My guess as to the sequence of events:

  Someone requested a pullup of the changes for netbsd060sp.S, but didn't
request a pullup of the corresponding changes to Makefile.inc.  [Either not
testing that the requested pullups worked for the 1-5-netbsd branch, or
forgot to include Makefile.inc in the pullup request.]

  Another person did update his branch and tried building a snapshot, which
failed because the Makefile.inc change wasn't pulled up.  That person then
requested a pullup of Makefile.inc.  [I know this because I ran into the
very same problem over the weekend when I was building from the 1.5 branch,
and checked to see if a pullup had been requested before I requested it.]

  The release engineer did not process the pullup until May 1 - this is the
file I mentioned.

  The 1.4 and 1.5 release branches are only updated in the ftp/sup tree a
few times a week.  It looks like the last update was done on May 1 - probably
before the pullup made it to the where the ftp/sup update is done from [I
seem to recall that it's done from the anonymous CVS files, but I may very
well be wrong].  I haven't seen an update since May 1, but the next update
should have the correct file.  [My guess from looking at the "triweekly CVS
updates" from last week, this may not occur until Sunday.]
