I have read the Makefile. I think there is confusion between
the tool version and the crossbuilt version intended to go in the
release being built. Obviously, the tool version will use the
system headers, and that may be the one that I saw fail (I don't
have the log anymore).

Maybe so, but one could just lift the source code from -current
and plunk it on an older version of NetBSD and it would just work.
Now, one can not do that. Having to update the kernel for a
relatively small userland utility is kind of annoying.
