I can't use all default targets, since I'm cross-compiling from FreeBSD, and
want to build for both i386 and amd64, meaning I need -m at the very least.

I don't really want iso-image, might want the USB-stick images for install
and for live image: available only for netbsd-6 and HEAD.

I don't know of any single command to build for both i386 and amd64, or if I
should use anything like -u when building for amd64 after i386 with the same
source tree.

Since the file system was messed up and required fsck_ffs to fix, I would 
want to rerun "cvs up -dP" in netbsd-5 and pkgsrc directories in hope of
recapturing any files lost.  NetBSD 5.1_STABLE i386 crashed a few times;
going into and out of X is high-crash-risk.  I want to build modular-xorg
from pkgsrc in preference to native X.

I just did that (updated pkgsrc), but something was missing in 
lang/ccsh/Entries and that update was skipped.  How to do cvs co in that
subdirectory only?
