Whats next on the list, bootblocks? :)There are at least 3 or 4 major problems:Native build fails when trying to run the pic and/or grops tool executable due to bad relocation types. Even the cross-compiled troff executable has the same problem when built on an amd64 system (the netbsd-5-0_RC1 and netbsd-5-0_RC2 builds have a bad executable, and my own build has the same problem). I've appended more information to Greg's PR39182.Native builds (when continued several times after the above problem) will hang the machine when it tries compiling libm/catan.ln. I'm trying to collect some more information on that and will submit a PR.Hmm.. I'm not quite up to that point yet (but have restarted the build often enough to be past the pic/grops/groff/whatever issue), but I see I'm using some 69MB of swap right now.. (the machine has 32MB). I've added an extra 500MB swap -- could your box be running out ofmemory/swap when it gets to working on libm/catan.ln ?
No. It's not a memory starvation problem. I've already responded to that idea a month or two ago, if you check the archives.
If you make a PR, I'll update it with whatever I find when I get there...
