In article <1995Sep7.104220.17651@ccc.amdahl.com>,
azcb0@ccc.amdahl.com (Alistair G. Crooks) gave instructions for
compiling the NetBSD-Current sources.

I followed them on my Amiga and they work but there are some problems.
The instructions for building ld.so, as quoted in part below, didn't
work as I expected.

>(cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/ld ; make && make install && make cleandir)
cp -p /usr/libexec/ld.so.good /usr/libexec/ld.so
>...

Everything runs fine until the installation of the new ld.so.  Then
the 'make install' ends because there isn't an ld.so to use to
complete the installation.  The 'make cleandir' also fails.  The cp,
however, does not fail.
