Possibly dumb question, but you did edit
ccl:compiler;X86;X8664;x8664-backend.lisp and make
the "obvious" additions for netbsdx8664?

If you did, you may have to manually evaluate the
relevant netbsd-specific forms.  You could also
LOAD the file manually (after pushing the appropriate
stuff onto *features*).

You just sort of have to beat things into submission
until *netbsdx8664-backend* looks right and it's on
*known-backends* and *known-x8664-backends*.
