Version/ABI tag info is stored in the NetBSD crtbegin.  It certainly
could be factored out into a separate object file, but it would take
some planning and coordination to make sure the flag day didn't cause
too much pain.

I am certainly not opposed to fixing this situation (and it will save me time
making sure NetBSD crt{begin,end} have all the necessary stuff for GCC :-),
but it's much lower on my priority list than dealing with basic NetBSD target
support in GCC.

However, this isn't the only lossage -- At various times, I've had programs
linked with the GCC crtstuff SEGV early on, but I have never had the time
to track that down yet.
