I suspect this is a symptom of having SIZE_TYPE set wrongly in your GCC
configuration.  arm-*-netbsd* sets it to "unsigned int", whereas the
default is "long unsigned int".

Are you sure you don't mean "__gccmain"?  Several of the ARM targets
(though not arm-*-netbsd or arm-*-netbsdelf) define NAME__MAIN and
SYMBOL__MAIN to this, apparently because the ARM libraries already include
a function called __main.  Since we don't use ARM's libraries, this isn't
necessary on NetBSD.  Come to that, I'm not sure the __main hack is
necessary at all.

It looks like, in both cases, your problems come from GCC's not being
configured correctly, rather than from bugs in the kernel.
