Yes, I have found the same problem you have.

Hardare: non-MMX Pentium/100
Software: GENERIC kernel from 1.3_ALPHA i386 snapshot

$ uname -a
NetBSD topaz 1.3_ALPHA NetBSD 1.3_ALPHA (GENERIC) #0: Mon Nov  3 10:37:43 EST 1997     perry@jekyll.piermont.com:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386

5.004_04 compiles cleanly on a 486 running 1.1 with either gcc-2.4.5
or gcc-2.7.2.1.

I'll try with gcc-2.7.2.1 on the Pentium shortly.
