>Description:
Problem doing configure:

===> Configuring for grub-0.97nb9
=> Modifying GNU configure scripts to avoid --recheck
=> Replacing config-guess with pkgsrc versions
=> Replacing config-sub with pkgsrc versions
=> Replacing install-sh with pkgsrc version
=> Checking for portability problems in extracted files
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c -o cetrox -g cetrox
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... /usr/bin/awk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking build system type... x86_64--netbsd
checking host system type... x86_64--netbsd
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking for x86_64--netbsd-gcc... cc
checking for x86_64--netbsd-gcc... (cached) cc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C 
compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.
*** Error code 1

This is config.log:
configure:2424: cc -m32 -O2 -I/usr/pkg/include/ncurses 
-I/usr/pkg/include/ncurses
 -L/usr/pkg/lib -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib conftest.c  >&5
configure:2427: $? = 0
configure:2473: result: a.out
configure:2478: checking whether the C compiler works
configure:2484: ./a.out
[1]   Abort trap              ./${ac_file}
configure:2487: $? = 134
configure:2494: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.

If the compiler flag -m32 is removed, configure keeps going, but gets stuck 
with this:
checking for x86_64--netbsd-objcopy... no
checking for objcopy... objcopy
checking if C symbols get an underscore after compilation... no
checking whether objcopy works for absolute addresses... no
configure: error: GRUB requires a working absolute objcopy; upgrade your 
binutils

Stop.

and config.log complains about objcopy:
