Usually the actual error including the relevant message is many
pages of screen output before make finally stops. Redirect the
output to a file and check that.

You are aware that you can cross-build kernels, and the entire
system on any other machine, even some non-NetBSD architectures?
I've heard that Linux may work, too, but never tried it myself.

I build all my stuff for sparc, hpcmips, amiga, hp300 on my AthlonXP.
Works very well.

Take a look at BUILDING and the output of "./build.sh -h" in the
top level source directory.
