Check your local NetBSD mirrors over the next few days. :)

Well, the last (the first, as it goes) time I tried to build a source tree
(sun4m) a few weeks ago gcc kept dying with signal 11 at random points.
Unfortunately doing a make build to continue did a make clean at various
points and went through the re-compiling already successfully compiled
parts again, slightly frustrating.
This took a long time, in the end I commented out sections, that I knew
had compiled successfully, of the main makefile.
I'll take this as being a kind of one off problem, and not something that
normally happens. So yes, I'll agree, compiling a full source tree ain't
that bad.
