The problem is that _LP64 does not means netbsd32 capability. For
instance, alpha defines _LP64, but it is not able to run a 32 bit
binary. 

I have the feeling we lack a set of macro that tell what an arch could
do (ie: kernel could be built with compat_netbsd32), and not what is
built in the current kernel.

Something such as HAVE_COMPAT_NETBSD32?
