I had various other issues, though this seems to 'mostly' work. Given that
GCC 3.1 is supposed to be out shortly, and is *another* ABI change (meaning
'you have to recompile everything that uses C++'), and claims to fix some
bad screwups in the 3.0 ABI... I'm inclined to work on portability testing
with 3.0, but try to do the eventual core with 3.1 once it's packaged (I
note that the 3.0 list I can find does not explicitly mention NetBSD as
supported, anywhere, oddly enough).

In any case, doing that should be trivial if we use 3.0 to do the testing
with. Now, if only I could make NetBSD-current work, or if NetBSD 1.5.2
actually had the headers for stuff... augh.
