Hello,
        I want to compile XFree86 2.0 for NetBSD 1.0_Beta.  I have all
the sources and they compiled fine under 0.9.  Now when I try to do a
make World the make file is not being created properly.  The
x386config.sh script does not appear to work correctly which I think
is the root of the problem.  I did fetch the 2.1.1 link-kit and tried
the x386config.sh from there but it did the same, I even tried using
bash instead of sh - nothing seemed to work.  Can anyone give me some
hints on this?

BTW I _know_ I can get the binaries but my link to the outside world
is flaky and slow, compiling the stuff myself is much less painful.
