Hi toolchain heroes.  I just thought that I'd let you know that
essentially all of the problems that I'd been having, cross building
NetBSD-current on my FreeBSD/amd64 system have been resolved,
and my router/firewall is now happily running the result.

Yay!  Immense thanks!

There was one tiny toolchain glitch, right at the end, but that
doesn't appear to have affected the result negatively:

make: illegal argument to d option -- e
usage: make [-BPSXeiknqrstv] [-C directory] [-D variable]
        [-d flags] [-E variable] [-f makefile] [-I directory]
        [-j max_jobs] [-m directory] [-V variable]
        [variable=value] [target ...]

followed by six identical error messages, and then the final
report.  FreeBSD's make doesn't have "-d e", so I guess that one
of the "sets" scripts doesn't refer to TOOLDIR/nbmake and just
uses "make", but I looked for that for a while, and couldn't see
where it was happening.

===> .

As you can see, that's with no multiple jobs, only using one
processor.  I'm pretty happy with that!  I'll try again with an
empty TOOLDIR and empty obj and -j4 or so, next.

Cheers,
