Sorry, but have to follow-up on my previous message as my "blind guessing"
was REALLY blind! Should have read the error message with brain turned on! Duh!

After looking a little closer at what's going on, I replaced
"MAKE=/u/NetBSD/release/2.x/arch/alpha/TOOLS/bin/nbmake"
with
"MAKE=/u/NetBSD/release/2.x/arch/alpha/TOOLS/bin/nbmake-alpha"
so that the correct environment is set... and the problem is gone.

Maybe thats not the right thing to do, but might point in the right direction?

Foot still in mouth,
