I was recently looking through the GNATS summary page (

Reports" list.
Most of these PRs date back to before the year 2000. Given how much the
system, hardware landscapes, and codebase have evolved over the last two
and a half decades, I wanted to ask the developer community whether it
makes sense to keep these open, or if it would be better to close them out.
Are these ancient reports still tracked for historical/architectural
relevance, or could they safely be closed to help clean up the tracker? If
some are still valid, it might be worth verifying if they are still
reproducible on modern NetBSD releases.
You are welcome to dig in and help, and read them and assess relevance
and test. It sounds like you are suggesting that Some Else(tm) to that.
Hey
Sorry if this is not the way to do this, but this one:
https://gnats.netbsd.org/2107
Seems to have been resolved:
$ sa -m
root 2130988 201.82cpu 0tio 34902601k*sec (while
trying to build netbsd)
user 62 0.10cpu 0tio 9k*sec
A guess is that the problem was introduced here:
https://github.com/NetBSD/src/commit/a62207fee87968db553efb0215be21c6b1722f61
And resolved here:
