I did this.  The make died a number of places - aparrently it does a 'make
clean' first and it tried to delete a number of files that were actually
directories.  I think it thought they were binaries.  Here are the ones I
remember:

/usr/src/usr.sbin/mrouted/mrouted/
/usr/src/gnu/usr/bin/gdb/gdb/
/usr/src/gnu/gnu/usr.bin/grep/grep/

After I moved those directories away to try and get a quick fix to my
problem, the make progressed until it died on the same error as before.

I have now also downloaded the contents of
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-release/tar_files and I get the
same error.

The tools that are currently broken (like ps, w, and top) all die this
way:

make: don't know how to make /usr/lib/crtbegin.o. Stop

Again, thanks to all for helping me.  I feel honored to be a part of this
community.
