ld.elf-so-i386 doesn't exist on netbsd-5.

Thread-local storage was proudly announced as new in NetBSD 6.0 in
October of 2012:

I'm sometimes trailing edge, but if you have a NetBSD 5 system, it's
been unsupported since 2015-09, and well past time to update.  I keep an
image around for portability testing of a few upstream packages (e.g.,
bup) and I can say it's been getting harder and harder to build things
on it.

I have found that 8 and 9 both work well, and I encourage you to
upgrade.
