No.  It's built with the diff I posted earlier.

I've built the i686 NetBSD 1.45.2 bootstrap, and uploaded it, and
this was an attempt at verifying / testing it on a 9.0 system.

That did not go according to plan, due to the "text relocations"
errors and the abort from rustc.

The un-referenced i386 bootstrap is the result of the cross-build
I built with the diff I posted earlier.

Sadly, no.
