I'll check it out.  (I turns out that I have no such beast.)

I understand your frustration at not being able to reproduce the
problem, from a sysadmin's point of view.  I've run into it before, too,
so I'm sorry for being such a problem child.

Someone else reported the same thing regarding the miniroot, though,
so this time I'm sure it's not just me.

Here is everything I've done (see attached "tool" for more reference):

umount /usr/src
newfs wd2g		# /dev/wd2g on /usr/src type ffs
mount /usr/src
cd /usr/src
sup -asz		# to get the main update
find . -name CVS |
  awk '{\
  printf "echo :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot > %s/Root;",$1}' |
  sh	# to set the CVS root right
cvs update -d -P .	# to catch all the stragglers
tool -m sparc ./build.sh -m sparc -O /export/obj/sparc -d \
	-D /export/build/sparc -R /export/release/sparc

I don't HAVE a /sys/arch/sparc/conf/GENERIC.local, nor does it get referenced
by GENERIC.  I'm using stock stuff here.  I even moved /etc/mk.conf out
of the way lest it throw off a variable here or there (and I have my
mk.conf tuned, pathwise, so that builds end up sane).

# Luke.

Now unless you can tell me that "tool" was ill-thought-out (clue:
./build.sh -m sparc done without "tool -m sparc" DOES NOT BUILD FOR ME,
because I don't feel like permanently embedding the goddamn build bin
in my $PATH for every arch i might want to build), I'm at a total loss
for WHY this thing is blowing up on me, and more so as to why it works
for you.

[and I know someone's going to take umbrage at my frustration.  Deal.
 I am.]
