Subject:   NetBSD emulation?

  I am playing around with 3.0-19980804-SNAP on a quad PPro Dell
box.  We primarily run NetBSD, and I was surprised that there are
no COMPAT_NETBSD options, and nothing in /usr/ports/emulators for
NetBSD.  Is there any support (or planned support) for running
``modern'' (post-1.2) NetBSD executables?  When I try it,
executables bomb out on the stat13 syscall, and I'm guessing
there might be some other similar emulation issues involved.

  FWIW, NetBSD can run FreeBSD executables, so I can always
recompile everything under FreeBSD and run it on all our
machines, but I'd rather not invest that effort until we've
torture tested FreeBSD for a few days/weeks -- chicken-and-egg
problem.  But it appears I have no choice?

  Thanks.

  Brian
