If your system is significantly old, this will be your easiest route:

./build.sh -t

This builds only a full toolchain, which will also be used for the full
build once your system has a new kernel.  Then cd to the kernel conf
directory and run:

$TOOLDIR/bin/nbconfig

and in the kernel compile directory:

$TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake-$MACHINE

substituting $TOOLDIR and $MACHINE appropriately.  If you are using the
implied TOOLDIR setting rather than setting it explicitly, look in the
objdir of src/tools/; there should be a "tools.$HOSTMACHINE" there, and that
path is the value of $TOOLDIR.
