I'm assuming this is i386? You're going to be in some pain with C++ on
this combination; netbsd/i386 2.0 sets gcc to use the stabs debugging
format by default instead of dwarf-2, because of a bug in 3.3's dwarf
generation (netbsd PR #25094; equivalent to GCC bug #16788) [I'm not
at all sure that this is the right tradeoff for that bug].
