I agree with that passing an entry point explicitly when cc is used
with option -nostdlib is the right solution.

We can use the macro constant LD_SWITCH_SYSTEM_TEMACS for this
purpose.  I didn't conditionalize by NetBSD version, but probably
specifying entry point won't hurt old version of NetBSD, will it?
