There is not an ELF snapshot available yet, but you can cross-compile
your own VAX ELF userland using "build.sh" at the top-level of the
source tree.  I build my VAX ELF userland by doing:

	cd /usr/src
	sudo ./build.sh -m vax -T /usr/local/netbsd-tools/current \
	    -D /u1/diskless/vax

It takes maybe about 30-45 minutes to build the entire userland and
install it into the NFS root area on my 1.2GHz Athlon.
