I tried again, this time noticed that the choking point was in libgmp. So maybe it was the new stuff: mpc, mpfr and gmp. Maybe not compatible with existing gcc, or maybe an error in the code. Things I could try would be to try to build, from pkgsrc, gcc-aux or a newer version of gcc. Or maybe from NetBSD 6.1_STABLE if that boots, but then I have the same old(?) gcc. Another possibility would be to do the same from FreeBSD, using gcc-aux or a newer gcc from ports. Tom
