Hi Jan,

this is only an guess. You need some developer packages. Without an error 
is it difficult to help.

<------- /path/to/source/usr/src/tools/compat/README  (NetBSD 2.0.1) ----->
* The gcc (and libstdc++, if needed) package must be installed, along
   with the typical system development packages (glibc-devel, etc.).
* The ncurses-devel package must be installed (for nbinfo).
* The zlib and zlib-devel packages must be installed.  This will be
  fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
<----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

Simply install following packages
$ apt-get install zlib1g zlib1g-dev libstdc++ libncurses5-dev gcc


And you must set some environment variables. At least MACHINE must set
$ export MACHINE=i386
$ export DESTDIR=/path/NetBSD/destdir
$ export RELEASEDIR=/path/NetBSD/releasedir
$ export X11SRCDIR=/path/NetBSD/usr/xsrc 

$  ./build.sh -U  tools
$  ./build.sh -U -x release
