Try using binutils 2.7 with the patches from my patches page (off
of <http://www2.portal.ca/~cjs>) applied, along with gcc 2.7.2.
I've not tried this with a VAX, but I've cross-compiled a Sun 3
kernel with this arrangement.

Binutils 2.7 doesn't deal with NetBSD a.out format properly. This
patch should be in 2.8, though.
