Once again I installed NetBSD on one of my SPARCs to see what is new
since version 1.5.  Otherwise it seems ok but then I got stuck while
trying to build utilities I think I cannot live without.  First thing
I tried to build was Bash and this is what I get:

---

# make

Something is broken... is it the shared library or something in
packages?  Might not even be SPARC-specific.
