I don't understand.  Does NetBSD actually fail to execute binaries
that would be valid on an actual 4.3BSD system?  Or is the complaint
simply that the 4.3BSD compiler, run on a NetBSD system, produces
new "4.3" binaries which won't run on either system?

If the latter, I don't think it's much worth worrying about, honestly.
