You shouldn't need to do all that, which would probably also require you
to upgrade your kernel as well. All you should need is gnu/dist/gcc,
gnu/usr.bin/egcs and share/mk. Egcs is pretty portable code and doesn't
need anything in the new includes/libc to build. You only need share/mk
because the standard makefiles are replaced with NetBSD ones. Whether you
can sup these as individual components, I don't know.
