  Nope, ixemul/gcc and netBSD are not related. AFAIK, Markus wanted a real
  UN*X on his A3k (AMIX being a dead end). Therefore he decided to port
  NetBSD to the Amiga. According to him it took only 4 weeks to get the
  first kernel booting on his amiga. He used the hp300 port as a starting
  point.
