 If you use git sources, you'll have to implement support for 16-bit
chars on alpha.  That's probably not what you want to do right now.

As for using the 20d binaries with current git sources, that very
likely won't work.  I would do a git checkout of the 20d sources (tag:
release-20d), create a branch and go from there, using 20d. In this
case, be sure to use the 8-bit (non-unicode) binaries and make sure
:unicode is removed from *features* in the cross-compile script.

Maybe I should use Linux instead of NetBSD ... this could be better,

 I don't use NetBSD, so I can't say. I do, however, use Linux and OSX,
so at least I'm more familiar with these than NetBSD.

For now, I would just go change vm:vector-data-offset to
vm::vector-data-offset (2 colons).  Just to see if that allows you to
get farther.
​ Do the same with the other errors you mention below.
