Hi Dan,
that's the funny part, the directory does not exist:
$ ls -ld /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils-2.17/gas/testsuite/gas/mmix
ls: /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils-2.17/gas/testsuite/gas/mmix: No such
file or directory
$ ls -ld /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils-2.17/gas/testsuite/
ls: /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils-2.17/gas/testsuite/: No such file or
directory
$ ls -ld /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils-2.17/gas
drwxr-xr-x 6 root wsrc 2048 Jul 3 10:36
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils-2.17/gas
