Yep, I guess that kills any chance of arm26 machines being able to emulate
such binaries, but it shouldn't prove a problem for arm32 machines unless
it interferes with the way NetBSD places shared libs.
I've always wondered why such a high number was used when I was debugging
arm/linux apps.
However, this is just one number in the link spec. If we mapped that down
to NetBSD/armXX's normal 0x8000 then I don't think we would need to change
much else.
