Thanks, Chris, for pointing out that there already is a scrt0.o..

It's just that the i386 compiler doesn't use it..

Fixing this is a one-liner..

#define STARTFILE_SPEC  \
  "%{!shared:%{pg:gcrt0%O%s}%{!pg:%{p:mcrt0%O%s}%{!p:%{!static:crt0%O%s}%{static:scrt0%O%s}}}}"

Put this in the src/gnu/usr.bin/gcc/arch/*/netbsd.h for ports which
have an scrt0.o (everyone except mips and alpha)..

Actually, I'd argue that for simplicity it should go in
src/gnu/usr.bin/arch/netbsd.h for all ports, and make the two outlyers
hardlink crt0.o and scrt0.o..
