System: NetBSD frau-farbissina.shagadelic.org 1.5N NetBSD 1.5N (FRAU-FARBISSINA) #: Sat Dec 16 18:34:33 PST 2000 thorpej@frau-farbissina.shagadelic.org:/u2/netbsd/src/sys/arch/alpha/compile/FRAU-FARBISSINA alpha

>Description:
	/usr/bin/mklocale is used directly in the build process.  Instead,
	a MKLOCALE make variable should be defined in bsd.sys.mk, which
	allows cross-compiling scripts (which may be running on non-NetBSD
	systems) to override MKLOCALE to the appropriate host tool.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Attempt to cross-compile the NetBSD source tree using any one
	of N methods.

>Fix:
	Not provided ... should be pretty obvious.
