And if you're not ready to reinstall your system with NetBSD/i386, you
*might* trying running NetBSD/i386 under plex86 (http://www.plex86.org/)
on Linux.  I think this would be a lot easier than getting a NetBSD/vax
toolchain running natively under Linux/i386.

Just an idea.  I've not played with plex86 yet, but theoretically this
should work.  Or if you've already got it or want it, you might try it
using plex86's commercial equivalent, VMware (http://www.vmware.com/).
