Because of check in configure, it is using on a.out system ld to link shared
modules on a.out NetBSD. But it is run with both -Wl,-R and so it won't
build any module ending in unusable installation. Had to modify configure to
get the package installed correctly.

Here is patchs, sorry for the delay.
It set for all NetBSD's LDSHARED to "cc" and not to "ld". Previously it used "ld" on
a.out systems, but on some systems it was necessary to change it to "cc" - on my, and
some others i read about in archives of some mailinglist. No one reported that "cc"
was not working on his a.out system, so i think it should be "cc" on every NetBSD.
