I'm having a few problems trying to regenerate the kernel on a
486 box running NetBSD 0.9...
I had these problems, so I got a completely new kernel source tree and
attempted another rebuild...No good...Below are my error messages...It's
the first command in the makefile, BTW...Yes, I did do a make depend...
Oh yeah...I'm also running gcc 2.5.6, but I have the original gcc for use
in compiling the kernel (it doesn't chew up that much space...I wonder
how they got that sucker to be _EXACTLY_ 64K! impressive! I also have
then latest version of GNU as, and EVERYTHING else compiles fine...
From what I can tell, there is bad code...as the cpp is having
problems parsing some of the assembly code for the isa stuff...
Has anyone else had this problem?

I looked at the code, and didn't see any problems, but, then again, all
assembler code looks the same to me! :-)
Thanks for any help you can provide...I REALLY want to get some unneeded
stuff out of my kernel...
Later...
