Oddly, on FreeBSD-i386, gcc compiled perfectly fine.  ksh, however did not;
don't expect it to work on anything but NetBSD-*.  You might want to
comment it out.

I also noticed several warnings, probably erroneous, from gas about
possible unsafe uses of mktemp().  gcc-2.8 completely refused to compile
libg++ because of stricter ANSI compliance; binutils warned me several
times about "operand out of range: 32 is not between 0 and 31" on a swli
instruction which had no 32 in it at all.  Go figure.
