The box is an AMD Duron 1.6ghz running -current 3.99.3 from Friday April 1st.
No tuning in mk.conf, custom config file, but plain vanilla compile.

The cross-compile tools were built per the info on www.netbsd.org.

It does seem to be a "bug" in gcc 3.3.3.

You probably need to build GCC on your AMD box with no extra COPTS.
