I'm using NetBSD-current. I didn't see the problem with NetBSD 0.8 or
386BSD so I'm assuming the problem has something to do with the a.out
changes. None of the GNU binutils work either - the problem is in how
the libbfd routines read in a.out files. GNU probably needs to
recognize NetBSD (0.9+) as a unique configuration type in its
configure scripts.
