	I know that NetBSD x86 has significant problems with EGCS at the
moment because they still utilize a very outdated (pre-2.0) GAS and their
hacked up a.out shared library support.  EGCS finally has prompted them to
get NetBSD x86 ELF support working.  I believe that BSD/OS and NetBSD are
very similar, so this probably is the problem that you are encountering.
The NetBSD toolchain discussion archive would be a good source of
information.
