Ohh... so easy? I chose the more complicated way in this situation.
I compiled testimg.c with gcc under AmigaOS, then transfered the
object back to NetBSD and replaced the a.out id (which was Sun3?)
by NetBSD-68k. After that I was able to link. ;)

What is this memory limit, BTW? Can you modify it in the kernel
config file? Why is it set so low?
