I've been meaning to cook up a patch that allows the -R for 
GCC-implicit libraries to be selected on a per-target-configuration 
basis.  This would solve the problem for NetBSD, and allow the GCC 
people to retain the current behavior for their favorite platforms 
(they have reasons for wanting it; not that I agree with those reasons, 
but they do have a rationale, nonetheless).
