Hey everyone.

	Uhrm... I posted earlier about having some problems rebuilding
	the NetBSD-1.0 system from /usr/src... I think I have gotten
	around a number of problems, by following the directions in
	the FAQ for upgrading to -current (although I'm still not sure
	why, but I guess I should have done that in the first place...).

	However, two BIG questions remain, now:


	a) /usr/src/gnu doesn't want to build... if I 

		% cd /usr/src/gnu; make && make install

	   the make pukes up some problems with redefinitions and
	   conflicting types. For instance, /usr/include/stdio.h 
	   and /usr/include/g++/stdio.h seem to have some fundamental
	   differences - functions that return long ints in one,
	   return short ints in the other version, and so on...

	   The same holds for some things in both versions of 
	   unistd.h (?).

	   Uh, so my question is, what have I done wrong? What is
	   happening here, and how can I fix it? 


	b) Neither cu nor tip like me anymore, even after I applied
	   the patch to common_sources/conn.c... cu insists on 
	   bailing out with a read/write error or something to that
	   effect, and tip doesn't seem to seize the port (/dev/com1)
	   properly..  I retooled /etc/remote for tip, (I used to
	   always use cu), but still no dice.. 

	   As such I cannot dial out... It is a very strange feeling,
	   to not be able to SLIP my machine into the local net here...

	   Suggestions? Comments? Clues? Patches?

I would be extrememly grateful for any advice I can get here...

Thanks in advance.


Colin.
