Two things to check first:

 - does it also fail on the auto-build cluster?
	https://releng.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/builds.cgi

   If these fail to, it will be fixed relatively quickly (unless the fix
   is hard like some atari boot disk overflowing which might take a
   few days to get resolved)

 - since you are doing update builds, is there something noted
   in src/UPDATING

   If so, try following the procedure given there first before reporting


Most build failures get noticed pretty quickly by the auto-build cluster
or one of the test build setups (which do send emails about the failures).

However, if you should happen to be the first to hit it, or something
special to your build happens, just report it on this list (or on
current-users, either will work).
