You didn't base the crosscompiler on the pkgsrc stuff? I have been
trying a bit to add a vax-targeted cross compilation system going, like
the others in pkgsrc/cross, but I stranded on as, which does not produce
byte-for-byte identical output yet.

As far as I can see, although the cross tools and the native tools are
based on the same gnu sources, they don't have the same fixes and other
local changes so output of these cross tools remains suspect in any
case. The assembler, as, for instance, was not even 64-bit clean in the
a.out related code and even fixing that left other differences. A native
as probably doesn't have to bother, really, since there are no 64-bit
a.out environments. (is that true?)

I submitted a pr with changes for the cross/binutils package, but I
don't think it has been picked up yet and commited by anyone.

Unfortunately I'm sick right now and although I have too much time, I
have too little energy to really do anthing complex right now :-(
