Strange. Christos? Any ideas what's up?

bcopy isn't supposed to be defined. I think the problem is that the gcc
you're using to cross-compile is configured a bit differently than the gcc
in NetBSD. We've moved to using mem* functions for everything, rather than
b* routines. In fact, sys/sys/system.h defines:

#define bcopy(src, dst, len)   memcpy(dst, src, len)

I bet gcc is using bcopy internally. :-(

Good question. I don't know.

Take care,
