That's probably the error you get due to a SysV-type or "other" type
of .align directive. SysV style (IIRC) is to specify the number
as the power of 2 that the alignment should be. I.e. .align 3 gets
you an alignment of 8. The other alternative is just to specify the
number of bytes. Check for a ASM_OUTPUT_ALIGN define somewhere
in the config/* files that it is using.

Presumably the configuration for NetBSD on i386 ELF isn't right
in gcc 2.95.x. It probably was never sent in to be integrated.
Maybe Andrew or Matt know if this is being fixed.
