This ought to mean two things:
* Bootstrapping is presently not sufficient to produce a usable
source distribution. May I suggest Bison be executed as part
of bootstrapping in order to circumvent this shortcoming.
* We now do have support for OpenBSD and FreeBSD. I just brought
to OpenBSD a freshly bootstrapped source tree from GNU/Linux,
I added only "ftpd/ftpcmd.c" from GNU/kFreeBSD, and luckily the
build phase runs to completion!
Thus my reported build problem for OpenBSD and FreeBSD seem to be
due to a change in my habits to move the source tree from my main
development system in GNU/Linux to my secondary systems for porting.
This is comforting for us to know and for me to understand.
Best regards,
