FYI, you can get a cross-compiler that produces _static_ binaries as we're
still working on the support to make dynamically linked or shared binaries
in a cross linker.

The source tree in src/gnu/dist can be used to produce a gas, ld, and gcc,
but that can't yet be used to compile the NetBSD source tree or anything
dynamically linked.

mark@netbsd.org or neil@netbsd.org will probably chime in now with the
information on patches you can use against the out of the box GNU binutils.
