Subject: Cross-compiling bug - where to report?

I have been trying to build NetBSD 2.0 on a Linux (SuSE 8.2) system, and
found an error whilst installing the info files for libbz2
I started the process with
./build.sh -m i386 release
and it failed with a message like*
No rule to make '/usr/local/info:/usr/share/info:/usr/info/libbz2.info'
As far as I can tell (I'm not familiar enough with BSD's make or with the
NetBSD build system) it seems to be pulling the value of the variable
INFOPATH (or maybe INFODIR) from my Linux environment and building an
'impossible' target path from that. When I unset those two variables, the
error did not occur - but I wonder where it is trying to install the info
files now. It should be $(NETBSDSRCDIR)/destdir.i386/usr/info' , shouldn't
it?
Please can someone advise:
1. Is this a bug?
2. Have I posted it to the correct place?
3. What other information (from me) is needed to fix it?
Thanks,
Peter
* Unfortunately the exact message got lost before I noted it down, but that
was the gist of it.
