I'd be interested in doing ELF work, tho help from someone who
understands the issues (I seem to recall the 32k needed something
(24-bit relocatables?) that VAXen don't use).  I'd be MUCH more likely
to do actual work if it can be done cross compiling on x86.

Last time I looked at this I ended up stuck in a quagmire of NetBSD
configuration and different versions of binutils! Some pointers on
getting past these hurdles would help!
