Thanks everyone for setting me straight, and for the many insights.
It saved me a few hours of frustrating ftp'ing back and forth.

Since coreutils was mentioned a couple of times in this thread I
wonder if I can repost the following on netbsd-help (not a single
reply from netbsd-users):

  || GNU coreutils-5.2.1 failed to build on 3.0.0_STABLE.  It compiled
  || flawlessly on 1.6.1.
  ||
  || The errors started with:
  ||   mountlist.c: In function `fstype_to_string':
  ||   mountlist.c:187: error: case label does not reduce to an integer
  ||                                                           constant
  || and continued on with many errors until hitting:
  ||   mountlist.c:395: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
  ||   mountlist.c:396: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
  ||   gmake[3]: *** [mountlist.o] Error 1

Any hints on how to compile coreutils on 3.0.0_STABLE much appreciated.
