My understanding is that the netbsd arm32 a.out ABI has slightly
different structure alignment/layout conventions than the standard ARM
elf ABI, which means that moving to ELF on arm32 will require either
(a) some really ugly compat code, or (b) a "flag day" when both kernel
and all userland code have to be updated in lockstep.
