The host system is a PowerBook 17", running 10.3.2, with gcc 3.3.  The 
destination volume is a UFS image, mounted at /Volumes/NetBSD.

Anyone understand this one?  I don't see anything wrong with the line 
where default output is checked.

Thanks!

Here is the snippet from config.log that seems appropriate:
