 Really, really, use build.sh.  See the documentation on
 http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/current/
 
 The reason why you get an error is that the config(8) utility on your
 system is not up-to-date, and doesn't know about the new syntax bits
 used by -current.
 
 build.sh makes everything easy.  Use it.  I strongly believe we should
 simply stop documenting the legacy way of building a kernel.
