exactly, very confusiong - at first I thought the latest toolchain of
9.9.52 wasn't stable!
Luckily just an "inconvenience" of automatic upgrading with no apparent
things out of date.

Could it be some subtle change in the system headers or dependency on
updated system libraries? Or does such an issue arise also without
updating NetBSD tools and userland itself?
