When does this error occur?  gcc doesn't usually behave in the way you
describe.

Andrew.

Hi Andrew, It occurs when the Ada library references a symbol the system libgcc.a doesn't understand, and so far it's been the exception handling. For GtkAda, the compilation gets about 50% complete before it aborts. For the Ada Web Server, it gets about 75% complete.

I thought that NetBSD's Pkgsrc might be causing the issue with all the wrappers and overrides that it layers on top, but I just tried to build GtkAda outside of pkgsrc and the same error occurs, so pkgsrc probably isn't to blame.

There are a lot of spec customizations in the netbsd headers (gcc/config & gcc/config/i386) so it's possible that one of those is causing this behavior. If curious, I can post the entire specs file.
