Feh.  I fixed this ages ago (pre-NetBSD-1.4); I wonder when this was broken
again.

gcc/config/netbsd.h:LINK_SPEC is where it should happen; perhaps the m68k
specs are overriding that and forgetting to include "%{R*}".

: Is it worth fixing the compiler, or should we resort to -Wl,-rpath?

-Wl,-Rfoo would be preferred over -Wl,-rpath,foo (-R is more well known
across even non-GNU linkers, and that's what pkgsrc uses for that reason).
