   Emacs is working fine.  Its just that the first time I built it I had no X
   libs and the 2nd time I built it I had the 1.5 toolchain which I'm now
   told is broken?


the "1.5 toolchain" is only broken inso far that /usr/libexec/cpp (and so
/usr/bin/cpp) does not define __NetBSD__, __sparc__, __sparc64__, __ELF__
and a couple of other symbols i forget off hand.  that causes some things
to lose, but if you use "cc -E" instead of calling cpp directly, everything
will work just fine.
