Note dir is actually (is this something to do with anon logins?):
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/arm26/testing/

Downloaded and tested:
bash-2.04$ ls
[          csh        echo       ksh        mv         rcp        sleep

cp         domainname kill       mt         rcmd       sh
bash-2.04$ ./pwd
/home/chris/elf/bin
bash-2.04$ ./hostname
brain.buzzbee.freeserve.co.uk
bash-2.04$ ./sleep 20
(20 seconds later as expected :)
bash-2.04$ ./sh
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

gdb doesn't understand elf it seems, so couldn't debug. (ksh and csh also 
core dump)

bash-2.04$ ./echo elf binary in use
elf binary in use
bash-2.04$ ./ps
  PID TT STAT    TIME COMMAND
  207 p0 Is   0:00.56 -bash
21164 p1 Ss   0:01.33 -bash
22138 p1 R+   0:00.02 ./ps

(also did ps -aux, that worked as expected, but the output is a bit big for 
an email...)

So it looks to work enough that the binaries run, however interactive things 
core dump?

Cheers,
Chris
