Ok, here's the picture. My test system is a 386DX40, IIT387, 8M, ISA-everything, /usr/src NFS mounted, /usr/obj local. Freshly installed 960501-SNAP, /usr/src is -current supped around the time of the SNAP. Booted with the -SNAP GENERIC kernel, 'make world' runs fine (good thing I had other things to do this weekend 8). Built a new kernel, rebooted. Go to /usr/src, 'make cleandist'. Dies almost immediately. The most interior make is sleeping on 'getblk'. As I said, the GENERIC kernel works fine. Here's my config for the failing one. At this point, I'm suspecting either NFS_NOSERVER or the omission of the other processor types. Unfortunately, the machine being a bit slow, testing these takes some time 8) > One wonders how he runs Sybase, since the HGI needs that.

After checking with a more reliable source (my SO), it becomes clear that he was referring to the GenBank database (DNA sequences). I _still_ think he was full of shit; it was just Satoshi and his 'world's biggest dic^Hsk' project that prompted me to mention it.
