Emmanuel Dreyfus did a lot of work to get 3.2 running on NetBSD. AFAIK 
most of his changes were accepted. You might have better luck building 
from the 3.2.6 or 3.2.7qa1 sources.

As for 3.3, 3.3beta2 is very, very old, and probably not many of 
Emmanuel's patches were in that. You should try with 3.3.0qa34 or 
3.3beta3 which will be available in the next day or so.
