I've never had any trouble on my i386 systems with the build.sh
process, but the Cobalt has always been a bit tougher.  I've often 
had trouble with sh;  lately I've taken to temporarily replacing
/bin/sh with bash.

Once I do that, builds of both the regular source tree and 
of pkgsrc seem to be much more successful.  The only downside
of this replacement is that the startup scripts in /etc/rc.d
don't seem to groove on bash, so I have to make sure I reinstate
the normal /bin/sh before rebooting.

I've been too lazy to PR this, let alone figure out the 
problem, so I'm not exactly pointing fingers here.  :-)

Good luck,

Kevin
