crosscompiling a Linux binary on NetBSD

I need to compile a program on my NetBSD boxes that will
link against
a Linux library, which is only available in binary form.  I
am
guessing that I need to compile the entire program (i.e., my
own part
of the code) as a Linux binary, but would welcome
information on how
to do otherwise.

In order to build a Linux binary on a NetBSD box, I presume
I need to
arrange for gcc to cross-compile somehow.  Does anyone have
clear
pointers for how to accomplish that successfully?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Brook

An alternative is to install wip/suse100_devel.  The toolset
is in
/usr/pkg/emul/linux/usr/bin/.  There's also wip/suse100_gdb,
which
kinda works.
