Ever since yesterday's commits to src/external/public-domain/xz/... I have been unable to get sysinst to unpack any distribution sets. I'm using sysutils/anita to prepare a bootable amd64 cd-rom image, and other than build for amd64 vs i386, I'm following the instructions posted at
http://wiki.netbsd.org/kernel_debugging_with_qemu/

Sysinst tries to unpack kern-GENERIC.tgz but gets an error. The message quickly flies off of the screen and is replaced by a generic "unpack of kern-GENERIC.tgz failed, should we continue?" message! (I tried to rebuild an Xterm image with ALLOWLOGGING enabled, but I can't seem to figure out the magical incantation for that...)

Ah, OK, I figured out the magical incantation to -DALLOWLOGGING in xterm (I had to update the /src/external/mit/... xgterm Makefile, not the one the lives in /src/x11/... )

Here's what sysinst reports when trying to unpack the kernel-GENERIC.tgz set (after removing all the terminal control escape sequences):

        Status: Running
        Command: progress -zf /mnt2//amd64/binary/sets/kern-GENERIC.tgz
        tar --chroot -xhepf -

        Shared object "libpthread.so.1" not found
        tar: End of archive volume 1 reached
        tar: Sorry, unable to determine archive format.

Does anyone know how to properly resolve this? (Include the shared library in the sysinst cd-rom image?)
