The new ELF toolchain is known to have some bugs on the SuperH.  I haven't
finished merging fixes from the old SuperH toolchain into the new one yet.

For example, if you build a kernel with the new toolchain, networking doesn't
work (I know it's not just me; someone else reported this to me, as well).

Yes, this is because the toolchain2netbsd script requires being run ON
the platform for which you're generating the configuration.  I need to
get an updated kernel working on my Dreamcast first, because the old one
isn't stable enough to run this script (there have been some bugfixes
in the SuperH code that address the problems I was having).
