Assembly syntax is not the same for all assemblers.  gcc may be
configured to use GNU as (--with-gnu-as) or not, and it will adapt the
assembly syntax it emits accordingly.  Also, I'm not sure stock gcc
supports netbsd yet (I'm not sure whether it was netbsd's or openbsd's
port that was recently installed in the egcs CVS tree), and netbsd's
port of gcc may not be configured to use GNU as syntax :-(

Too bad :-(

This problem will hopefully be fixed in the next release of egcs.

I'm still not 100% convinced of the existence of a problem, because
you've used -fpic, not -fPIC, which libtool would use, unless I'm
mistaken.  If the same problem occurs with -fPIC, then libtool should
indeed not create shared libraries with GNU binutils on netbsd/m68k
:-(
