Since our network was very down this weekend I actually got some
time for playing with netbsd/pmax again, and I got the latest kernel
compiled with these two small fixes: cpu_exec.c is needed to do
elf/ecoff binaries, and if you don't define COMPAT_09 there's a
off-by-one #endif in cpu_exec.c. I send these patches in case
anyone needs them.
    That said, I would like to ask about the toolchain: Is it
because we're using ELF and then converting to a.out that this
happens to ps:
 USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS TT  STAT STARTED    TIME COMMAND
 root       179  1.0  0.1   308    0 p0  R+   12:15AM    0:00.20 (ps)
    Also, I know the Linux people have been using ELF for a time -
could we get some help from there on the toolchain? I know NetBSD
'should' be GPL-free but we don't have an alternate toolchain anyway.

    Yours,
  Arne H. J.
