Wow, I've not compiled a NetBSD kernel in a very long time, that'll be fun. :-) I'll see if I can get to that this week. I suppose I'll have to do an install under simh to get to that point.Cross-compile it? I mean, isn’t that what **everybody** does? :-)Ahh, perhaps, but the last time I built a NetBSD/vax kernel, I did it natively...that should tell you how long ago that was. ;) I'm figuring out the cross-compilation tools, build.sh, etc now. I must say the documentation on how to get this set up is slightly lacking, for something everybody does. ;)I guess maybe I’ve been using “build.sh” and the associated infrastructure for too long (literally 2 decades now :-). It does have a lot of options, but you mostly don’t need to use any of them unless you’re setting up some complicated development environment (which is what I do :-). For example, I have a script that regularly builds a fresh toolchain for every supported MACHINE_ARCH :-)
Nice. ;) Well of course I've seen it mentioned over about that length of time; I've just never needed it. The few times I've built kernels over the years, I've just done it natively, mostly on sparc64.
I haven't actually run NetBSD/vax in a very long time. But I'm fixing that now. :)
