None.  Now, what part of the simple question "so you're saying NetBSD can
magically run binaries which never go anywhere near any gcc-compiled code?"
did YOU not understand?  I KNOW that you didn't understand part of it, for
you failed to answer it.

You stated that NetBSD's kernel was always compiled with gcc.  Therefore,
for it to run foreign binaries without them going anywhere neat any gcc-
compiled code, either your claim that it can run code without going near
gcc-compiled code is false, or your claim that the kernel is always
compiled with gcc is false.  Which is it to be Mr. Know-it-all?
