Its probably easier to install the latest snapshot and rebuild
	from there. NetBSD is just in the process of switching to a new
	toolchain build method that should allow any architecture to
	be built from any system with an ANSI C compiler, which will neatly
	solve any 'must update program x before you can rebuild -current'
	problem, but right now its less hassle to get to -current via
	a snapshot.
