I rebuild everything under NetBSD/sparc and NetBSD/vax at least twice
per week, and will try to increase the rebuild rate as the release
draws near.  If I can just get around to replacing the power supply in
my old i386 box, I can do the same for NetBSD/i386.

However: reading regression test output is a royal pain.  We're
talking almost 100 kilobytes of 'diff' output per platform, most of
which is last digit differences in floating point numbers and slightly
different wording of (expected) error messages.  I cannot guarantee
that I don't miss actual problems in there that mean something
relevant.  So far things look pretty good, though.
