With the following replacement for src/s/netbsd.h, I have successfully
built GNU Emacs 19.22 using the shared C library and shared X libraries.

For reasons beyond my comprehension, you need to extract brk.o and
cerror.o from /usr/lib/libc.a and link them into emacs statically.
Before I did this, emacs built and dumped fine, but the dumped emacs
bombed.  It seems that when the first shared library function called
in the dumped emacs is brk (to restore the break to the value at the
time of dumping), it executes bizarre and obviously bogus code and
gets a SEGV dereferencing address 7 rather quickly.  (By the way,
debugging this I happened to hang my system single-stepping into an
`lcall 7, 0' (with eax==17, i.e. brk) in gdb.  But I have an old
kernel; try it after syncing your disks.)
