Various reasons, mostly because the NetBSD-supplied crtbegin/crtend
supply ELF note information that the kernel's exec code uses.
Adding new stuff to NetBSD's crtbegin/crtend that new versions of GCC
need is pretty easy -- someone just has to remember to do it (and do
the necessary releng work to ship OS updates for prior releases).
