see README.gcc10:

---
[8] - i386 seems to have a signal delivery issue.  pthread tests hang and then
      complain with eg:
          threads_and_exec: q[ 627.6700846] sorry, pid 3154 was killed: orphaned traced process
      this problem occurs with GCC 9 as well.
---

it all builds and mostly works, but atf hangs for me (with GCC 9
as well, so it's not a compiler issue, or, it's not a *new*
compiler issue..)

it shouldn't be necessary to go to netbsd-9 branch first.
