	Funny you should mention that...

	The reason the broken ns32k support in recent gcc is a
	problem is that NetBSD is moving to a much more recent
	toolchain, to (among other reasons) easily enable cross
	compilation of a complete NetBSD distribution for any target
	from any posix compatible system with an ANSI C compiler.
	There may be one or two remaining host tools to get compiled
	up for non NetBSD hosts, but it shouldn't be long.

	You should certainly be able to cross compile and test kernels
	from a Linux box now. I would imagine that would be enough to
	shake out a certain number (though not all :/) of the compiler
	issues...
