Well, gcc is pretty easy to change back into good old bcopy behavior. The
netbsd.h file that comes with 2.6.x for example is a particularly BAD one,
because it's apparently designed to generate a gcc to be used as "cc", not
as gcc. This attempt fails miserably if you try to configure it as a 
cross compiler, since in that case, looking in /usr/include (which is
hardcoded in config/netbsd.h) is a definite no-no.. 

I'd suggest you try 2.6.3, with the following diff applied to netbsd.h:
