It's coming along. I decided to do a NetBSD-i386 port first; the current
h/NetBSD.{h,defs} are outdated by several years. The FreeBSD versions
seem to be current, though, so I was able to re-use most of that with
some minor changes.

My current puzzle is this:

gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/daniel/software/gcl.i386/unixport'

The ELF stuff is way beyond me. Ideas?

NetBSD/sparc (which I will start as soon as I have i386 working) is
probably the 2nd or 3rd most popular NetBSD port after i386 itself.

Certainly, though some of the low-level stuff (like the above) is
beyond me.
