It isn't *too* bad. I can give you patches for the NetBSD as and ld if you
want. The cross endian support is in there but broken.

Your only other alternatives I can think of are:
 a) Get the current binutils
    to support NetBSD dynamically linked libraries. They are supposed
    to work for SunOS.

 b) Do the work to migrate to elf in which case I understand shared libs
    come more or less for free.


Compared to these admittedly nicer alternatives, getting the NetBSD
utilities working in a cross environment is easy!
