The other thought would be to bisect the changes between netbsd-6 and
7 to determine where the problem triggered - should be able to run a
test build from current around netbsd-6 to confirm that the issue was
not in current at that point, then one around netbsd-7 and git bisect
to get the issue.

Alternatively you could leave a script trying to build kernels for
every month or so between the two and test then en-mass :)
