Assuming you are using NetBSD-Amiga, the following patch to
bfd/config.bfd may help:

--- config.bfd  Sun Dec 17 17:58:08 1995

Now run configure again usign m68k-cbm-netbsd1.1 as the architecture name.
The problem with config.bfd was that it confused SVR4 with NetBSD on the
Amiga thereby causing the BFD library to be configured for ELF and not
a.out.

Speaking of binutils 2.6, has anyone made gas from binutils 2.6
assemble PIC correctly?  On Amiga 68k NetBSD 1.1 it doesn't handle PIC
correctly; in fact, the -k option appears to be a no-op.
