If you're talking about compiling NetBSD itself on VAX, you're right. I've 
seen amd64 systems take more than a gig of memory to just finish linking a 
kernel.

On the other hand, I'm talking about the ability to compile pkgsrc 
software for VAX on VAX. That worked decently in NetBSD-6, but not since, 
although I'll be looking forward to trying the latest -current.
