When you get to the kernel, the only thing that should be needed
(this applies more generally) is to clean up
sys/arch/<targ>/config/Makefile.<targ>
some things to check:
o change strip to ${STRIP} (with a default
of strip).
o Some NetBSD specific options used by some
architectures such as:
strip -d VS gnu-strip --strip-debug (?)
ld -z (????)
ld -T 0 VS gnu-ld -Ttext 0
o Addition of -nostdinc to kernel includes path
o Check that lorder uses ${NM} (It should
by now)
Since your host is AIX, you may encounter other more taxing problems.
