With create-target.sh:

% src/tools/create-target.sh build-2 x86_netbsd NetBSD
(create-target.sh) Settings: bld_dir=build-2 lisp_variant=x86_netbsd motif_variant=NetBSD
cd: can't cd to motif/server
(create-target.sh) not OK: Can't cd motif/server


I'm fairly sure that I have used build-all.sh in the past but I think
it is just getting confused if you don't use specify the options.

Creating the directories beforehand has this problem:

% src/tools/build-all.sh -o "unicode/lisp" -8 "non-unicode/lisp"
+ src/tools/build.sh -f x87 -b build-8bit  -C  -P -o non-unicode/lisp
//starting build: Tue Oct 25 19:41:40 BST 2011
cmulisp: not found

Trying to get build-all.sh to create the directories doesn't work for
me either, I get:

% src/tools/build-all.sh -o unicode/lisp -8 non-unicode/lisp -C "x86_netbsd NetBSD"
+ src/tools/build.sh -f x87 -b build-8bit  -C x86_netbsd NetBSD -P -o non-unicode/lisp
//starting build: Tue Oct 25 22:47:12 BST 2011
build-8bit-2 isn't a directory
Failed: src/tools/clean-target.sh
+ src/tools/build.sh -f sse2 -b build-8bit  -C x86_netbsd NetBSD -P -o non-unicode/lisp
//starting build: Tue Oct 25 22:47:13 BST 2011
build-8bit-2 isn't a directory
Failed: src/tools/clean-target.sh
+ set +x
+ src/tools/build.sh -f x87 -b build  -C x86_netbsd NetBSD -P -o unicode/lisp
//starting build: Tue Oct 25 22:47:13 BST 2011
build-2 isn't a directory
Failed: src/tools/clean-target.sh
+ src/tools/build.sh -f sse2 -b build  -C x86_netbsd NetBSD -P -o unicode/lisp

+ set +x

The problem with stage-1 crashing was just me being stupid and building
it on the wrong operating system version, time_t is still 32 bit on the
released versions of NetBSD and the CMUCL source matches this.

It would be helpful to get the scripts fixed though.
