Well, since the person was me...

I configured an unmodified bintils-2.8, configured for mips-dec-netbsd
--prefix=/usr, and typed ``make; make install''.

I'm using the standard NetBSD version of gcc. In the snapshot, that's
gcc 2.7.2. The NetBSD source tree was updated to 2.7.2.2 yesterday.

You *need* to compile all files with -mabicalls. (That's the default
for the NetBSD/pmax gcc.)

You also need to compile .so files for shared libraries with
-mhalf-pic.  Again, that's the default for NetBSD/pmax gcc.  (This is
apparently what OpenBSD does too, and for the same reason: so that if
you compile foo.c to foo.o, you can link with either static or
dynamic-shared libraries.)

I'd guess that g77 isn't configured properly for a NetBSD/mips target.

If you do *all* your g77 compiles with "-mhalf-pic -fpic -mabicalls",
then you shouldn't have any problems linking against the NetBSD/pmax
libraries, either shared or static.  Did you try that?
If so, did it work?
