`oops'.

i've committed a change to distrib/sparc/miniroot/Makefile.inc which
should fix this.

  | * April 5th -current
  | * ro nfs mounted /usr/src
  | * rw null mounted /usr/obj
  | * SS10 platform
  | * April 5th -current OS previously compiled and installed in /:
  |   NetBSD qqq 1.5ZC NetBSD 1.5ZC (QQQ) #0: Tue Apr  5 13:14:47 EST 2002

  | /BUILD/tooldir
  |

  | them (ro). A complete build takes more than 24 hours (this is while this

  | Any hint?
