What do you mean "when I run it"? Hvmloader is not a regular
application, it's a piece of code intended to be loaded by Xen into the
virtual machine and executed there - is that what you're doing, or are
you typing "hvmloader" at the command prompt on the machine - the latter
is almost guaranteed to fail immediately (_start sounds like the first
thing that happens). 

As far as I can think, there shouldn't be any difference to this on a
NetBSD or Linux platform, as both use gcc and related tools to build the
binary, and unless something has gone wrong with the link-scripts or
there are bugs in the gcc & friends for NetBSD that generates different
code or the linker locates the code to a different location, I don't see
how the OS that you build hvmloader on would of any matter...
