I don't have a toolchain and I've not attacked the ABI emulator to get it working for FreeBSD/sparc-aout bins, much less ELF32. I have looked at the ABI bits and decided I'd get libc and friends working first. Obviously convincing some NetBSD person to update the ABI emulation for FreeBSD/alpha and sparc would be the way to go. :) -- | Matthew N.
