Or must the old be kept? Use /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/gcc/gcc2netbsd to build the NetBSD version of (mostly) Makefiles. And we have some changes which might not be yet available from public gcc distributions (although they are submitted to the gcc maintainer). E.g., a m68k gcc without the -m68060 switch can't compile a NetBSD/AMiga kernel which would start up on a 68060 machine.
