Add a README.md. This document attempts to describe some commonly needed use-cases. The build.sh command is opinionated but it's for the sake of having a command that can be copied and probably works without needing to inform the user about what various options do. Discussed in tech-toolchain. I've added some links suggested by kamil and switched to calling arm64 'aarch64' as requested by richard earnshaw.

NetBSD
------
NetBSD is a complete operating system.
It supports a wide range of machines from recent aarch64 and amd64
machines to VAX and M68k.
Building
--------
Cross-building is possible from most UNIX-like operating systems.
To build for amd64 (x86_64), in the src directory:
./build.sh -U -u -j4 -m amd64 -O ~/obj release
Add more links.
