Hello!

I tried to build the toolchain for NetBSD-2.0_BETA on Tru64 5.1B
and Compaq C 6.5, here is what happened:

1.) /bin/sh doesn't work, HOST_SH isn't honored (not only on Tru64).
I had to replace /bin/sh directly with a compatible shell as it seems
to be hardcoded at several places.

2.) I had to install zlib and set CPPFLAGS="-I/.../zlibincludedir"
and LDFLAGS="-L/.../zliblibdir" into the environment for it to work.

3.) the normal awk supplied with Tru64 has reported several errors like
awk: Line                                        {      uint32_t _tm... cannot have more than 199 fields.
I had to install GNU awk to fix that.

4.) at last the building of "tools" failed the following way:
