I tried similar thing for sparc and from that experience I can tell
that you should always everywhere use -nostdinc -nostdlib and set
you pathes to where your DEST directory is. And I'd rather have 
native tools, includes and libs unreachable at all during the cross
build. Also it could be wrong libgcc.a which should be rebuild with
netbsd's includes (I'm guessing here).
