I think all you need to do is to be sure to use the assembler in
$TOOLDIR. First, try using "nbmake-i386", rather than "nbmake".
("nbmake is for native, current-to-current builds). If that doesn't
work, try forcing the issue by prepending
${TOOLDIR}/i386-netbsdelf/bin to your path. If *that* doesn't work,
then it probably wouldn't build for anyone else, either. For what it's
worth, I seem to recall that the former was all that's necessary to
build current up to 1.6E on 1.5.3.
