 I guess the size issue was caused by 32-bit compat binaries
 (especially 32 bit debug sets), not just 64 bit binary sizes.
 
 Note there are several ports that have >800MB isos:
 NetBSD-9.1-evbarm-earm.iso      1.9G	 
 NetBSD-9.1-evbarm-earmhf.iso    1.0G	 
 NetBSD-9.1-evbarm-earmv7hf.iso  971M	 
 NetBSD-9.1-sun2.iso             805M	 
 
 Maybe
 - evbarm has too many kernels
 - sun2 has no shlib support (but no sysinst anyway)
