Well, my build just fell over:
   
   | # ./build.sh -O /usr/obj
   ...
   | dependall ===> toolchain
   | Configuring for a sparc64-unknown-netbsd1.6A host.
   ...

   Is there some way (perhaps akin to the old MKINFO=no sort of thing) to
   disable that use of gperf?  Presumably it's _possible_ to build and
   install gperf by hand; is it a sane thing to contemplate under the New
   Build Order, or would I be better off asking around to see if someone
   could send me a gperf executable?


hmmm.  gperf is used by the gcc makefiles and it _should_ have been
disabled being run.  if you go and 'touch' the files that gperf is
trying to rebuild (there is a "contrib/update_egcs --touch" that
works), it should work.  you should also send-pr the above.
