I've seen this happen while rebuilding NetBSD itself (and only with c++) 
sometime around 4.0 on other architectures. It turned out to be that the 
newer gcc toolchains simply hit the soft memory limit, which had a very 
conservative default. Given that changing the optimization level fixes it 
for you, I think this is what you're seeing.

Hrrm time to give NetBSD-5 a go on my Amiga4000s... :-)
