Yup -- it tries 10 times, then goes to lnx-bbc.org or movealong.org, which
should have the files readily available.  You can try to modify the
Makefile for gnupg to point to these sites first too.

Which ones?  That'd be good to know.  Some packages don't have versions
and it makes monitoring checksums IMPOSSIBLE (becker being one of them).

makes it seem like you're trying to incorporate the tools by changing into
the becker-ethernet-tools directory and typing make.

The "better" way would be to add "net/becker-ethernet-tools" to
gar/meta/bbc-contents/bbc-contents, so that the dependencies are
appropriately met ($(DESTDIR), $(STAGINGDIR), $(GCC), for example).

Then issue "make build" from within meta/gar/lnx-bbc to build the image
from scratch.
