Hello NetBSD People,

in fact crond and some other facts hang up my NetBSD-0.8a System some times,
I'm trying to upgrade to NetBSD-current. I've read every faq i could 
get. Even followed the instructions in README.magic , still using the
original version of gcc.

But for unknown reasons I can't build libc.a , and therefore no other
current stuff. The bootblocks and the kernel (netbsd) compile well.
When I boot /netbsd and do make depend , make all in /usr/src/lib ,
the box hangs at :

building standard libc.a
nm: bt_debug.o no name list
nm: bt_debug.o no name list
tsort: cycle in data
tsort: clnt_udp.o
tsort: pmap_ ... ( somewhat )

now the System shows a load of 0.97 and hangs at this point, till
interrupt by CTRL-C .
No libc.a at all.

I've tried this with a version of ar , tsort and nm build with the
new /usr/include tree, as well as with the old /usr/include .

Has anyone any idea what's happenig there ?

Hardware is i386/i387, adaptec 1542b, seagate CDC-Wren, 16MB Ram.
The system seems not to swap at all. Swapinfo always shows 
swap avail 32MB, swap used 0MB .

Thanx in advance
Klaus
