I haven't had time to debug my assembler errors, but i guess it's
something completely unrelated to the GNU/NetBSD patch.

After speaking with RMS, it seems we're finaly going to use the
"i386-netbsd-gnu" triplet for GNU/NetBSD (independently of the libc),
so i think the patch [1] is ok to apply.

furthermore, this hunk seems to be fixing a problem with the dynamic
linker getting confused by ABI tags i had on GNU/FreeBSD:
