Like what host???
A few weeks ago I attempted to compile NetBSD-Amiga binaries
on NetBSD-i386 but ran into some problems with the "half done"
support on some of utilities. (ld)
I managed to get gcc/gas/ld all compiled to produce NetBSD-amiga
objects but ran into a problem with other necessary utilities
to build the entire system. (nm, lorder, ar)
I looked at these other programs and saw that they too could be fixed
to recognise other byte order architectures but didn't have time.
I could make availiable the changes I made and the "hacky" environment
I was attempting to build stuff in.
I do not claim that everything was working correctly however,
My executables did not run on my 720 kernel system (yes very old)
and the kernel I built wouldn't do anything never initialized the
screen or printed anything on it.
