Ok, everything in the source tree builds cleanly (except for a few
packages which Linux already has, like emacs, perl, and top).  I just
did a full build again, which worked from start to finish modulo a few
compiler glitches, probably due to a bad memory chip on speed-queen.

The next steps are to install, rebuild, and test everything.  I'm not
sure what the best way to do this is.  Should I risk destroying
speed-queen, or is there a better place to run install tests?  How
does the NetBSD install work?  I guess they install into an /srvd
which could be temporarily moved to a different location, eh?  I
wonder which packages do not support DESTDIR...  I'll play later.

If anyone cares, the build tree is /mit/sipb-athena/build/... and
there are makelogs available.
