Hello,

We have set up a  HP400t to run NetBSD1.0. Yesterday we tried to compile
the X11R6 distributions from X Consortium. It desperatly crashs a few instructions
after  the make World command. In fact, it starts generating the top Makefile but
it never stops and the Makefile gets bigger and bigger until disk space becomes totally
consumed !

Taking a closer look to the config/cf directory and comparing with the same directory
in the binary release of X11R5 (retrieved from the ports directory) , I came to the
conclusion that  there seems to have some files missing. The hpNetBSD.* files
are missing. Moreover the NetBSD.cf file seems to be configured for NetBSD0.9
There are lots of ifdef __i386__ but nothing concerning hp300.

Does anybody have a solution to this problem ? 

Thanks.
