On ftp.netbsd.org or a mirror.  The directory is
/pub/NetBSD-current/src/usr.sbin/config for the sources I think...Is there
a binary dist?

You will also need to retrieve and build make from ...../usr.bin/make to
add support for the :Q marker used in the makefiles.

Is it just me or does this kernel take three times as long to build as it
used too?  My last took three hours on an LC III 25 mHz.
