Reed So I was told about open PR #36350 "Many man pages missing on amd64" http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=36350 which appears to have a fix (by having a common new category "x86"), but I haven't tested yet. What is the status with this? (I bcc'd the original list I posted this on so others can know where the conversation moved to. I cc'd port-i386 since this is for i386 man pages too.)
