Hi,

We have Netbsd 0.9 running on a 486 SX/33.  We are still running the
distributed kernel, GENERICAHA.  I've met with no success trying to
rebuild any kernel.  I've tried various modifications of ALL and
GERNERICAHA, including unchanged ones, and always it complains of
missing .o files on the final link.  To start with, ir complained
that subr_mcount.o did not exist so I modified the makefile to
make sure it compiled that.  Then it can't find af.o, cons.o, 
uipc_proto.o ....

Many object files are built, and just a few appear to be missing.
All the source, particularly the ones it complains about, are there.
The make never tries to compile any of the files that it later complains
about.  Most of the files are standard, ie not selected by options.
There seems to be nothing that the offending files have in common.

Please, I would be grateful for any words of advice.  I don't think
I am doing anything dumb, so I suspect something must be missing
somewhere.  btw, config, make depend, and make generate no errors at all.

Thanks in advance
