Unbearably slow load time

[Derek Atkins]

What version of libtool do you have?

I think this is a *BSD issue as nobody on Linux has ever shown this
unbearably slow loadtime.  I suspect it's an issue with the netbsd
runtime linker or perhaps the libtool library.

Your signal handler issue definitely looks like a runtime linker
problem and/or libtool problem which I'm fairly sure has been
discussed before.
