GENERICSBC and INSTALLSBC were added in current, but never on
netbsd-1-5. The proper thing, is to see that a change is tested on
current before requesting a pull-up to the branch. I'm not, however,
running current, and I don't see any complete snapshots of
current/mac68k on ftp.netbsd.org, either, which is not encouraging.
Has anyone tried a "make release" on mac68k lately (or ever)?
