Thanks,

I wasn't clear.  I'm not trying to figure out how to cross build
NetBSD, I'm already doing that.

What I need to figure out is how, on a Linux system, to build an a.out
for an application that's not part of the NetBSD tree, but will run on
an NetBSD arm system.

Obviously I can hack the application into the NetBSD source tree and
use build.sh to make world and get it that way, but I was looking for
a way to extract the toolchain from the tree, install it on a
non-NetBSD system and then build a.out against it.
