These two problems were fixed in later versions of cat.c:

	----------------------------
	revision 1.34
	date: 2002/06/11 22:05:07;  author: bjh21;  state: Exp;  lines: +5 -4
	Rather than (ab)using the standard error message for EFTYPE, print our own
	message when "cat -f" is used on a non-regular file.  This is necessary to
	make cat(1) portable to systems that don't have EFTYPE (like Linux).
	----------------------------
	revision 1.33
	date: 2002/06/11 22:01:30;  author: bjh21;  state: Exp;  lines: +4 -4
	Only use __RCSID() and __COPYRIGHT() if they're defined.
	----------------------------

It would probably be easier to cross-build NetBSD-current instead of
NetBSD 1.6 if you don't have a pressing reason to use the 1.6 release.
I suspect there was more than just these two linuxisms that were fixed
at that time...
