Sorry, took me a bit to get a round tuit!

Correct!

Patch looks good to my eyeballs, but it appears to have gotten mangled
somewhere along the line, maybe from copying & pasting from a terminal
instead of saving the diff output to a file?

Also, it looks like this patch is against netbsd-9 rather than HEAD,
right?  (Not a big deal if so, should be easy to adapt.)

Any luck with the 486 system?  (Not that it would be a blocker for
merging the patch, if it didn't work before anyway.)
