Whoops saw that you were playing ELF.

Try to add this to your source (this is i386, maybe needs fix for
endianness, but can't access a m68k from here; am at work)

# This section is needed for NetBSD to recognize a NetBSD binary as such.
# otherwise it will be startup in Linux emulation mode.

.section ".note.netbsd.ident","a"
.p2align 2

.long 7
.long 4
# ELF NOTE TYPE NETBSD TAG
.long 1
.ascii "NetBSD\0\0"
.long 199905
