The same config file with an a.out sendmail is fine as is an ELF NetBSD/i386 
sendmail built from the same tree as the ELF arm build.

It is possible to get this sendmail test mode. I did:

sendmail -bt
> 3 mpumford@black-star.co.uk

The ELF binary reported a rewrite problem. The a.out one worked fine.
