FIrst look (again):
peter@dumpty.wonderland.org % ls -l /usr/include/errno.h
lrwx------ 1 peter sources 11 May 12 17:11 /usr/include/errno.h -> sys/errno.h
peter@dumpty.wonderland.org % grep errno /usr/include/errno.h
/* $NetBSD: errno.h,v 1.8 1994/06/29 06:44:02 cgd Exp $ */
* @(#)errno.h 8.5 (Berkeley) 1/21/94
#define ELAST 81 /* Must be equal largest errno */
then I find that my /usr/src/include directory is empty - ie no files are
going to get installed from it when I do a make includes. Hmm.
OK. Re-sup with the -o flag. sigh.
