Could you give more details about the problem with the NetBSD build?

Here's one guess.  About a month ago, Glenn Morris made a change to
configure.in to fix a conjectured problem with using terminfo on netbsd:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2012-04/msg00906.html

This change was included in pretest 24.0.97.  That may be why the build
stopped working for you after 24.0.96.  Can you revert the change
described in the above link, and see if that fixes the build?  If so, we
can revert the change for the 24.1 release.
