However, it assumes that --host includes a version number, which is not the
case when e.g. compiling from pkgsrc.  It's also NetBSD's policy not to use
[kernel] version numbers to determine system features in configuration tests
such as these.

I have a different fix based on yours which will change the command for all
ELF platforms, not just 2.0.  This is OK (see below).  When tested, I'll
commit it to devel/libtool*.

Yes, it's fine.  NetBSD ELF properly supports shlib dependencies.
