OK, I'm in uncharted territory (at least, for me). 

Ordinarily I simply pull whatever the latest source tree off of my latest CD
and build the world whenever the mood strikes me.  Lately I've been
fascinated with the capabilities of 'cvsup` and figured, "What the heck, I'll
give it a shot."

I started with an empty /usr/src.  I tweaked the CVSUP files to pull 
-stable into my tree.   Hours later (14.4 - ugh) I had a spanking new source
tree under /usr.  Plenty of disk to spare (~700Mb).

As root, (cd /usr/src ; make world).  Poom!  No success.  Didn't know how to
make cleandir.  OK, 'make -DNOCLEANDIR world`.  It doesn't like a *lot* of
things in ctype.h.

I could fiddle for days, but I'll cut to the chase;  How does one build a
-stable release after cvsup'ing the appropriate bits?

(I started with the 960501 SNAP, for what that's worth.)

Thanks!
