Following up to myself.

It was suggested to me privately that I need device files made for
amd64. As far as I can tell, this means I need an amd64 mknod. It
seems thus practical and, if I knew how, quicker to me to drop a
statically linked amd64 mknod somewhere, but I'm afraid I can't
figure out how to get one using NetBSD's build system... can some-
body help me out on this?

(I'd wish it were possible to just issue something like "./build.sh
-m amd64 sbin/mknod"...)

Thanks in advance,
