crt0.o is in your copied /lib, isn't it?

Oh, you aren't using the binutils ld to link, are you? It doesn't work
for NetBSD shared libraries. You have to patch the NetBSD ld, and have
it cross-link.

My cross-linking ld doesn't look in the right places for libraries. I've
had to add "-nostdlib -L/my/destdir" to make things work right. Try that.

You might also just try compiling "ls" or something else small and see
if the cross-compiling works.

Take care,
