The apparently hard part is constructing a gcc which will produce a.out stuff
in NetBSD format and not SunOS format...

Mankind should spend much more effort on education, escalating their levels of
intellect to those currently enjoyed by the upper minority, rather than forcing
the higher ones to lower themselves to the level of the average moron.  Until
this happens, we will not truly advance our species, we'll only perpetuate it.
