I've been running the 1.4.1 kernel for a while (with uptimes >25 days) and
it only panics when the nfs server goes away.  Also -current was ok on
19991025 after I applied the patch below[1].

I've been using the cross-build environment which Darrin made for building
on a i386-netbsd.  I'm now using a i386-linux based cross-build environment.
What more will the cross-build effort you mention have that what I've used
does not have?
