Maybe egcs-1.1/binutils-2.9.1 is just not up to the task. What I did
for my K6, for which optimizations aren't supported at all in egcs, is
install the pkgsrc gcc-2.95.3 and binutils-2.11.2, prepend $PATH with
"/usr/pkg/gcc-2.95.3/bin:/usr/pkg/i386--netbsdelf/bin:", and built a
custom kernel with COPTS="-O2 -march=k6 -mcpu=k6 -ffreestanding".
Works great! Season to taste.
