If you have a copy of the NetBSD-current sources that you've recently updated and something doesn't compile, the most probable cause is not that there's a problem in NetBSD, but that you have some stale files hanging about somewhere that are causing conflicts. Before you ask for help on the current-users mailing list, make sure you have:

1. Done a `make cleandir' in the directory where things won't compile.
2. Installed the makefiles in /usr/share/mk.
3. Rebuilt and installed /usr/bin/make.
4. Installed the include files.
5. Rebuilt and installed the libraries (src/lib).

(Thanks to Christos Zoulas for this list.)
