A prior response from (msaitoh?) indicated that this convention was chosen
so that assembly code would conveniently work between ELF and COFF
executables unchanged.  A lazy thing on the part of the eval-board/toolchain
people, but it would not surprise me.

In any case, unless and until we can get verification from a printed Super-H
ELF ABI supplement, we need to make the sh3 target files for gcc on NetBSD
work the way all other ELF platforms do -- without symbol underscores.
