That's just a GENERIC kernel? You can easily cross-build NetBSD on any
Linux box and copy over the kernel to the NetBSD system. I usually
just let it build on my CI host and fetch whatever I need from stored
build artifacts. NetBSD will use the host compiler to build its
internal toolchain (GCC 10 based) and use that to actually cross-build
the release artifacts. Feel free to drop me patches, you'll get free
compilation-as-a-service. :)
As soon as I have completed my native build, I plan to start digging into the
whole time issue as well. It seems clear it's a problem not only on something
like simh, but on real hardware as well. So we might very well also have
multiple problems... Next week I will be able to fire up my real 4000/90, to
avoid any issues by simh.
I suspect the 4000/90 will behave differently due to a different local
time source: ICR vs DIAGTIM/U.
