Build has completed and check-m2 reports the following.

     === gm2 Summary ===

# of expected passes           7617
# of unexpected failures      2053
# of unresolved testcases    2035

(I have not looked at the failures, yet.)

Here were the bumps with building gm2:

(1) "realname" is GNUish (part of binutils) -- I installed "grealname" 
and modified the script accordingly;

(2) "python3" was invoked -- I have "python3.8" so a symlink was needed;

(3) the directory containing gmp.h was not propogated to m2 (no problem 
in gcc) -- explicit inclusions were added to m2/Make-lang.in;  (Brian 
Callahan commented that this problem was previously reported and fixed.) and

(4) failure in comparing stages -- built stage 4 only (this also solved 
the previous problem with linking against previously built libraries).


Here are some machine details:

uname: NetBSD <machine-name> 9.1 NetBSD 9.1 (GENERIC) #0: Sun Oct 18 
19:24:30 UTC 2020 
mkrepro@mkrepro.NetBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/sparc64/compile/GENERIC sparc64

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/pkg/lib

My next step is to pull the latest and try building again (keeping a 
copy of Make-lang.in, just in case).

Sincerely,
john
