My first attempt at building xfce3 on my Q700 failed as well. I'm gonna
give it another try tomorrow or Wednesday, though. I just wanna upgrade to
NetBSD 2.1 first.
Ya know, this is actually kind of fun. My Q700 is currently crawling
through a build of sylpheed. It's kind of funny, because my Q7300 choked on
sylpheed, but the venerable old Q700 valiantly chugs along... :)
