i386 can, but amd64 can't it seems, but probably could without
too much effort. eg, in gdb/configure.tgt:
x86_64-*-netbsd* | x86_64-*-knetbsd*-gnu)
# Target: NetBSD/amd64
gdb_target_obs="amd64-tdep.o amd64nbsd-tdep.o i386-tdep.o i387-tdep.o \
nbsd-tdep.o solib-svr4.o"
is missing i386bsd-tdep.o that supports a.out. other amd64
targets have it, so it should compile and maybe work.
.mrg.
