what combination did work for you? i've found this error with a recent
CVS snapshot when cross-compiling for i386-netbsd-gnu from a native NetBSD
host.

also did you re-run autoconf after appliing the patch?

all i know is it was made by Momchil Velikov (but he isn't maintaining it
anymore), and that it's working for me with binutils 11/24/2002.

it can't be applied to CVS yet, though, because the "*-netbsd-gnu" triplet
has not been made official into the canonical config.guess' copy.
(and there are some problems with that, since it conflicts with the triplet
used for GNU/NetBSD with native C library)
