This version mismatch is what will definitely cause you problems.  There
are vast differences between the 1.5.2 release and the current source
tree.

The tar files under pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/src
on ftp.netbsd.org or anoncvs (look at
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/current/#using-anoncvs) would be the
best place to start.

I last compiled and used the evbmips port on the Malta about two weeks
