There're a lot of environment variables you have to get right.  I do this
by having a little shell script (called arm26make) which sets them:

#! /bin/sh

export ADDR2LINE=/opt/netbsd/cross/bin/arm-unknown-netbsdelf-addr2line
export AR=/opt/netbsd/cross/bin/arm-unknown-netbsdelf-ar
export AS=/opt/netbsd/cross/bin/arm-unknown-netbsdelf-as
export CC=/opt/netbsd/cross/bin/arm-unknown-netbsdelf-gcc
export CPP=/opt/netbsd/cross/bin/arm-unknown-netbsdelf-cpp
export CXX=/opt/netbsd/cross/bin/arm-unknown-netbsdelf-c++
export CXXFILT=/opt/netbsd/cross/bin/arm-unknown-netbsdelf-cxxfilt
export LD=/opt/netbsd/cross/bin/arm-unknown-netbsdelf-ld
export MAKE=arm26make
export NM=/opt/netbsd/cross/bin/arm-unknown-netbsdelf-nm
export OBJCOPY=/opt/netbsd/cross/bin/arm-unknown-netbsdelf-objcopy
export RANLIB=/opt/netbsd/cross/bin/arm-unknown-netbsdelf-ranlib

export STRIP=/opt/netbsd/cross/bin/arm-unknown-netbsdelf-strip
export MACHINE=arm26 MACHINE_ARCH=arm26
export DESTDIR=${DESTDIR:-/export/arm26}
export OBJECT_FMT=ELF

/opt/netbsd/bin/make -m /export/arm26/usr/share/mk "$@"

I believe there are problems cross-compiling a.out shared libraries (and
maybe cross-linking against them).  ELF should be better in this regard
once we get shared libraries working at all.  Anyway, wasn't building
kernels your major problem?
