It appear to me, that this has something to do with 
/usr/share/mk/bsd.own.mk
In this file on lines 90-95 I've got:
	# Provide a default for TOOLDIR.
	.if !defined(TOOLDIR)
	_TOOLOBJ!=      cd ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/tools && ${PRINTOBJDIR}
	TOOLDIR:=       ${_TOOLOBJ}/tools.${HOST_OSTYPE}
	.MAKEOVERRIDES+= TOOLDIR
	.endif
and on lines 110-116:
.if ${USETOOLS_GCC:Uyes} == "yes"
	CC=             ${TOOLDIR}/bin/${MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM}-gcc
	CPP=            ${TOOLDIR}/bin/${MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM}-cpp
	CXX=            ${TOOLDIR}/bin/${MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM}-c++
	FC=             ${TOOLDIR}/bin/${MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM}-g77
	OBJC=           ${TOOLDIR}/bin/${MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM}-gcc
	.endif
Does this make any sense?

Why does make not simply use /usr/bin/gcc?
