Cross-compiled from NetBSD/x86. I made sure to build the new 'config'
utility to make sure that I would be able to compile the kernel. (I had
simply figured that it was a good idea to build
syssrc/usr.sbin/config before trying to build a new kernel.)

The first line of the 'hpcmips-make' script that isn't a comment is as
such.

.. If you want to look at it, it's located at
