[Bug c/31033] New: Collect2 will not allow shared gcc with cross compiler

["kstemen at centeris dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

First off, here's what I passed to the gcc configure script:
CC=gcc
CC="$CC" CFLAGS="" CXXFLAGS="" CPPFLAGS="" ../configure --prefix=/usr
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info \
        --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-checking=release \
        --with-system-zlib --disable-libunwind-exceptions \
        --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr \
        --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc \
        --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib64 \
        --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var \
        --sharedstatedir=/usr/com --mandir=/usr/share/man \
        --infodir=/usr/share/info \
        --without-long-double-128 \
        --enable-languages=c \
        --host=x86_64-redhat-linux --build=x86_64-redhat-linux \
        --target=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0 --with-cpu=default32 \
        --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --enable-libssp=no \
        --with-sysroot=/usr/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0/sys-root

If I try to compile hello world on the resultant compiler with the following
options, it works (and runs on AIX):
[kyle@ryoko ~]$ powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0-gcc -c hello.c 
[kyle@ryoko ~]$ powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0-gcc hello.o -o hello
[kyle@ryoko ~]$ ls -l hello
-rwxrwxr-x 1 kyle kyle 282114 Mar  3 23:41 hello

Howerver, if I try to compile it with a shared libgcc, it fails:
[kyle@ryoko ~]$ powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0-gcc -c hello.c 
[kyle@ryoko ~]$ powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0-gcc -shared-libgcc hello.o -o hello
collect2: init function found in object
/usr/lib64/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0/4.1.1/../../../../powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0/lib/libgcc_s.a

I have tracked the error message down to the collect2 program. It comes from
collect2.c. Collect2 will run nm on all of the libraries. If it finds a symbol
that starts with "GLOBAL__FI_", it will report that error, but only if collect2
is built as a cross compiler.

This shows that the native gcc in the AIX Toolbox works despite the same
export:
[kyle@ryoko ~]$ powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0-nm
/usr/lib64/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0/4.1.1/../../../../powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0/lib/libgcc_s.a
