Claims to be:

isolar# file /usr/lib/c++rt0.o
/usr/lib/c++rt0.o: NetBSD/sparc position independent object file not stripped

isolar# ls -l /usr/lib/c++rt0.o
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  607 Jul 19 07:30 /usr/lib/c++rt0.o

This is a dead stock 1.4.1 SPARC binary ...

Doh!  :-)  For some reason that just didn't look quite right ...

Aha ... interesting:

isolar# cd /usr/src/lib/csu/c++
isolar# make -n
cc -O2 -fpic -Werror   -DLIBC_SCCS -c c++rt0.c
        ^^^^

So far so good!

Thanks Matt!!!

Now the question is - could /usr/lib/c++rt0.o being -fpic before be the cause
for all those

	ld: /usr/X11R6/lib/libkde<mumble>.a(k<mumble>.o): RRS text relocation \
	at 0xNNNNN for "_<color>"

linker messages I mentioned before?  (If so, I guess I should try and re-build
all of this KDE stuff from scratch, then ... bleah ... )
