Sure you can, but xscale-elf is not targeted to NetBSD, so you can't 
use that target.  You must use arm-netbsdelf.

NetBSD 1.6 has complete cross-build support, and includes a 
cross-hostable toolchain.  You don't *need* to download gcc and 
binutils from the FSF to cross-build it.

You can do it, however, but you're going to have to manually deal with 
the libstdc++/libgcc/crt* differences from current GCC releases.

FWIW, GCC 3.2.x does not support the ABI used by NetBSD/arm.  GCC 3.3 
will, but 3.3 is not released yet.
