Ok, I fixed it. Talk about your wierd-ass behavior...

I looked into the problem some more and traced it down to glib. glib
contains a wrapper for dynamically loading libraries (libgmodule) which
gdk_imlib uses to load the specific image handler.

Apparently, my -current build environment (990217) was building a broken
libgmodule. My specific guess is that egcs (1.1) knackered it up. I
compiled just libgmodule on a NetBSD 1.3.2 system, took it to mine,
installed it, and recompiled imlib. That seemed to work. I strongly
suspect if I had just rebuilt with gcc-2.7.2 on my system it would work
also. 

egcs lossage? I would not be surprised...
