:    I don't know how to fix it properly so workarounds:
   :    	configure with --disable-shared so there will be no libgcc_s.so,

(i've used --disable-shared for a long time in general....)

   :    or
   :    	set TARGET_LIBGCC2_CFLAGS to usual -fPIC -DPIC in gcc/Makefile (after configure),
   :    	(there will be PIC penalty for libgcc_s.a).
   :
   : aren't there a set of flags espcially for libgcc_s?  these should
   : contain -fPIC -DPIC and it probably should go in gcc/config/netbsd.h.
   
   Right.  libgcc_s should always be PIC, and there is zero reason for it not
   to be.

yeah, and i mean config/t-netbsd ... but there appears to be no such
variable for libgcc_s only...
