Great to see that you were successful to get everything to build!

I can cross-build with the same configuration you have specified
and generate successful installs on a 340.  But it isn't a 68040.

I don't know whether NetBSD/hp300 has been tested on a '40 recently.
Given that the new toolchain work was done on mvme68k, I suspect
a pmap problem in NetBSD/hp300 rather than a toolchain issue.

From here, the best way to resolve this problem is to run diskless
with a custom kernel.
