Yep, I guess that kills any chance of arm26 machines being able to emulate 
such binaries, but it shouldn't prove a problem for arm32 machines unless 
it interferes with the way NetBSD places shared libs.

I've always wondered why such a high number was used when I was debugging 
arm/linux apps.

However, this is just one number in the link spec.  If we mapped that down 
to NetBSD/armXX's normal 0x8000 then I don't think we would need to change 
much else.
