Before the two autobuilds that succeeded, it complained about references
to a non-existent structure member.  That one I could reproduce.  Then
it got fixed and it built fine on the autobuild system and for me.

Then, changes relating to variable(?) or multiple(?) page sizes were
made.  Then modified to accomodate RUMP.  This was the last mips-related
commit before the autobuild started failing again:

  http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2015/06/30/msg067088.html

According to the error log, an expression in a preprocessor macro is
broken.  It apparently occurs in a transient assembly-language file, so
it's suitably tricky to figure out from whence it propagated.

I too have been unable to reproduce it in my builds--but then I try to
avoid non-update builds if I possibly can.  Perhaps the source changes
failed to tickle 'make' in the right spot.
