I made small progress: I have little knowledge in ld, but I found section 
 not mentioned in default ld script (.note.netbsd.ident in vers.o). 
I manually copy following fragment from src/sys/arch/i386/conf/kern.ldscript

  .note.netbsd.ident :
  { 
    KEEP(*(.note.netbsd.ident));
  }

and put it into default ld script. After that I was able to build 'crash':

./crash                                                                         
              
Crash version 5.99.27, image version 5.99.25.
WARNING: versions differ, you may not be able to examine this image.
Output from a running system is unreliable.
crash> 

It still isn't final solution or, even, workaround for build process, but may 
be helpful for developers fixing this issue, I hope.

PS. "My" ldscript is available at http://aniou.smutek.pl/netbsd-ldscript.txt
