Hi,

	I am trying to upgrade from a stock NetBSD 0.9 to NetBSD-current
using gzipped sources from Feb 6.  I've tried compiling the sources starting
with the kernel and working out to the apps.  There seems to be a catch 22
that prevents these sources from building on stock NetBSD.  I get a variety
of errors from these builds which means I may have an evironmental problem.

Can someone please give some clues as to what it takes to rebuild the
entire tree?

	I need to know if the compilers need to refreshed.  There are
some issues with DYNAMIC libraries and header problems.

Tim Jackson
