   |  gcc was changed somewhere in the 4.99 days to always link with -lc,

 Ah, the missing piece - thanks - that explains why I am seeing
 what I am seeing, and perhaps suggests that either of the two
 possible fixes (removing the link option that causes the error,
 and so making the package essentially the same as the previous
 version, or adding -lc, and so making the NetBSD 4 package more
 like the NetBSD 5 (etc) versions), should work.
 
 Which is considered to be the preferred way?
 
 If I know which way pkgsrc would prefer, I can generate a patch that
 should fix this bug.
