I agree.  (I was actually thinking of that, but figured that whoever
implemented it would do the right thing. 8-)

The only thing that i don't like about this is the library names being
printed.  Printed that way, they don't quite make sense for NetBSD.

I'd say something like:

	Standard C Library (libc)

or

	Standard C Library (-lc)

or

	Standard C Library (libc.a)

or

	Standard C Library (libc.a, -lc)

would be better.  8-)
