A couple of people have asked how I've set up my build environment, on the 
off chance that it might be helpful for other people who are building 
NetBSD here is the 'build' script I use (called 'go' and located in 
/usr/src) What it does is create a build log in /usr/src/logs (symlinked to 
'current') and attempts to build a complete release without stops (note the 
-k option)

Generally after a cvs update I will either just type './go &' from the 
/usr/src directory of if I'm trying to rebuild everything I'll do that 
after the following:
	# fresh build
	mv /home/source/build /home/source/.past-build
	mv /home/source/release /home/source/.past-release
	mv /home/source/obj /home/source/.past-obj
	mkdir /home/source/build
	mkdir /home/source/release
	mkdir /home/source/obj
	#
	# clean up the past obj-> symlinks
	#
	find . -name obj -type l -exec rm {} \;
	./go &
