Crash when using -on_load() directive.

Hello,

I'm trying to use the -on_load() directive on NetBSD/amd64, but I'm having
problems. Even this simple test file (test.erl) fails:

-module(test).
-on_load(load_my_nifs/0).

load_my_nifs() ->
    io:format("Loaded module.~n"),
    ok.

Try to compile as byte-code and then native:

$ erl
Erlang/OTP 17 (erts-6.3) [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [async-threads:10]
[hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V6.3  (abort with ^G)
1> c(test).
Loaded module.
{ok,test}
2> c(test, [native]).

This also happens on an R16B03-1 installation. The documentation doesn't
mention the directive is limited to byte-code compiles. But even if it was,
the native compiler should print an error instead of crashing.

Are other platforms having this problem?
