Comment it out.

I think you'll find that it doesn't need that library on NetBSD.
It's probably cruft code assuming that if you're a powerpc host
then you're AIX, or something lame like that.

Comparing recent EGCS to what we have in the tree, many more powerpc hosts
have been officially added, and more work has gone into making cross builds
between hosts work much more smoothly. (Cross support prior to EGCS was, by
and large, only used for embedded devices with no O/S, so bugs like this
simply weren't "tickled" by any major users of GCC. That's been changing
lately, as people want to build win32 ports of their code using solaris and
linux machines -- people like Cygnus -- so it's being worked on finally.)

I would expect that as we import newer versions of EGCS, problems like this
will fix themselves.
