Indeed, it was missing a case for netbsd in configure where it decides
to use a versioned library or not. That was compounded by a check for
GCC by name, which fails as pkgsrc ends up using GCC via its cc name.
To work around the frail check, I just use the versioned lib stanza
unconditionally like it does for Linux.

This patch has been tested on NetBSD and Linux. It also affects FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
It is bulky because I patch your patch:) so I dumped it on this paste service:

Can contact me directly for any further info.
