It's a warning so you can ignore it.  However, based on what I've read you shouldn't normally get that warning unless you're building statically.  E.g. see the XXX comments in bsd.sys.mk:
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/share/mk/bsd.sys.mk?rev=1.246&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&only_with_tag=MAIN
