Yes, w/o a doubt.
However I worry a lot about Joe Blow downloading GCC, building &
installing it; and then winding up with every binary he compiled with GCC
requireing libgcc.so because it was built and installed by default.
``gcc -static'' is not a solution as /usr/lib/lib*.a would be linked with
rather than /usr/lib/lib*.so.
