This is a bug that I've seen before, not under NetBSD, but under
Rhapsody/PPC (which also uses gcc).  I was compiling Kerberos and had
library corruption in one or two of its libraries.  After a good 3 or 4
hours of irritation, I finally figured out that a file name that is too
long causes a corrupt symbol table.  There was a flag which I forget (I
think -T?) that causes ar to truncate names of object file when entering
them into the symbol table.  Try adding that.  It fixed the problem for
me.   Note that by "fixed" I mean "got the program to compile".  SOmeone
should still fix ar :)
