 FWIW, you can make this work by providing a correct netbsd/i386 /usr/lib
 directory (including making sure the symlinks that point to ../../lib/*
 work!) somewhere and passing -B/this/dir to gcc -m32.  do not pass it
 with a trailing / aka -B/this/dir/.
 
 i'm working on making this work by default for netbsd/amd64 having i386
 libraries in /usr/lib/i386, as meantioned way back in this thread:
 
 http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-toolchain/2001/08/13/0000.html
 
 i'm not yet sure how we will populate /usr/lib/i386 but the tricks to
 get gcc to DTRT are simple and i've got those working.
