Of course. It's "NetBSD", not "the libc from NetBSD".
Another important assumption is that the build is run on a host with a

This does not really look like a "well-defined" condition :)
It's true that there's no easy way to tell whether it will work
without actually trying it. Again, if it fails on a system where
it's reasonable to expect it to work (say a unix-like system that
is able to build lots of other software), then any problems can be
fixed, as has happened many times in the past.
