   I still think that the NetBSD-0.8 executables are binary compatible

Amancio, THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT!  Sigh.  If you'd
run NetBSD executables on your 386BSD, THEN that would have been
interesting!

I think I've made this all abundantly clear.

   I suggest that you let the NetBSD team  speak for their products instead
   of guessing. Is not a flame is just that the they released NetBSD so

They have said many times that to compile *BSD compatable binaries
under 0.9, you must use -Z.  I don't care about 0.8, as it will
soon be gone on all but a handful of machines.  It's not relevant.
