I believe this was the intent, but as has been noted elsewhere in this
discussion, gcc no longer links with scrt0.s.  I gather this happened
when we were merging the netbsd changes into the FSF source tree.

But before we make this change, let's make sure it's correct.  If I
understand things correctly, using scrt0.o as is makes it impossible
to dynamicly link in code to a staticly linked executable.  I think
this could be a useful feature.  So why not split the dl* functions
out into their own library so that dynamic linking can be made to
work from static libraries too?
