Won't this have the effect that any of the referenced symbols remain 
undefined
in libgc_s.so, and will get a GOT (and in 4.0 even a PLT entry) in 
libgcc.so?
Some functions may not ue the PLT because of register usage.  And most of
the rest is really smaller than a PLT entry, so a copy should be linked 
hidden into
every dso that needs it.  Including libgcc.so .

I didn't say hundreds - I said some hundred.  greps counts 94 hidden 
functions
ans aliases in my current lib1funcs.asm working copy.  The largest 
group, with
40 members,  is probably the set of movstr* and movmem* functions, none of
which was mentioned in libgcc-std.ver (and hence was excluded), and none of
which is mentioned in sh/libgcc-excl.ver (and hence is now included).
