Greetings,

Welcome to gcc4 land. Im not a regular netbsd user but can give some info on 
the linux side of things as they should be similiar. My target is sh3 little 
endian.
4.1.1 is the best gcc currently, havent tried 4.2.x yet. 4.0.x had lots of 
issues and regulary experienced compiler errors.
I used 4.1.1 with -O2 set and it worked mostly well, Only had issues with 
one or two packages. I moved over to -O1 just to be on the safe side (errors 
went away).

Best wishes
Kristoffer
