The libraries were still built, just not as shared libraries. This is 
set in bsd.own.mk
(from bsd.own.mk)
# The sh3 port is incomplete.
.if (${MACHINE_ARCH} == "sh3eb" || ${MACHINE_ARCH} == "sh3el") && \
     !defined(HAVE_GCC3)
NOPIC=          # defined
.endif

So basically everything is staticly linked to whatever libraries it 
needs. The current hpcsh snapshot is like this too. Marcus Comstedt 
posted a patch to support shared libraries some time ago. I'm not sure 
how well it worked or if its been committed. I'll have to look into that.

Hmm.. are you using recent cvs sources (like the last few days)? I'll 
try building a kernel with the stock gcc 3.04 and see if that makes a 
difference.
