Thanks a lot for your answer ! That explains it :-)

I tried linking with -Wl,-z,execstack, but with no success, even though 
readelf shows a new header with this option:

Type           Offset   VirtAddr   PhysAddr   FileSiz MemSiz  Flg Align
GNU_STACK      0x000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000 0x00000 RWE 0x4

But the problem may come from NetBSD's default policy of non-executable 
stack on i386 (http://www.netbsd.org/docs/kernel/non-exec.html).

I'll have to dig further...  Thanks again,
