Very unusual. As far as I know, a "checksum failure after patch" means
that cvs downloaded a diff between your local working copy and the
repository, tried to apply that diff and then noticed that the
resulting file doesn't match the checksum it should have. I think with
update -C it checks out a file completely instead of applying a patch.

If you continue to run into problems, you could edit your Makefile.common
and call "cvs -t update -C tobuild" instead of "cvs -Q ...".

Or even drop -Q for some time, so it's not completely quiet.

And all this is still part of cvs update, so in the end it should
get a tobuild file (whatever revision it may be) and append a single
build request, then commit it.

Since the Makefile is not made for concurrent access, all steps after
eachother, hopefully...

Btw, you should not need to specify TARGET=... anymore.
