The necessary hooks for making a cross-linker are there. But a ready to
run make target is not available. I've never made a cross-linker on a
386 platform, but it shouldn't be a big problem since the system header
files match up nicely.

Making a cross-linker on SunOS (4.x) for NetBSD is easier byte sex-wise, but
needs fiddling with a number of header files.

By tomorrow I'll have a set of NetBSD Sparc binaries ready which should give
you a working base.
