The System Upgrade

After running into some compile errors on the system (NetBSD 5.1.2), I have decided to upgrade the system from NetBSD 5.1.2 to NetBSD 6.0 RC1. I'm really hoping that the upgrade process goes smoothly and it solves the compile issues that I am having. I've also been debating whether to do a Canadian Cross Compile for the software with the issue but I'm not very skilled in that specific area and there is not much information out there on such a procedure. However I am not disheartened. I will keep researching and hopefully find a few answers somewhere. Until then the option left for me is to upgrade the system from 5.1.2 to 6.0RC1 and hope that the bugs have been fixed.
