The compiler obviously shouldn't crash.  It would be helpful if you
could report that as a gcc bug at http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/.
Attach the preprocessed source code--the .i file generated by the gcc
command line with the --save-temps option.

These look to me like a minor, unimportant, bug in the NetBSD
sources--if the variables are static in sysv_msg.c, then it doesn't
make sense to declare them as extern in msg.h.
