I obtained ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/200604080000Z/sparc/b=
inary/sets/x*

but I get:

# X -configure
Shared object "libz.so.1" not found
#

So I made a symlink to /lib/libz.so.4

And then:

# XFree86 -configure
XFree86: Undefined PLT symbol "__stat30" (symnum =3D 1740)

and similarly

xf86config: Undefined PLT symbol "__stat30" (symnum =3D 22)

# xf86cfg
/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86: Undefined PLT symbol "__stat30" (symnum =3D 1740)
Failed to run "X -configure".

Any clues as to what's needed?
