It really sounds like the whole shared libgcc issue is to fix mis-designs
in Linux's libc. Yet in order to fix that, the rest of the world is
having to deal with this. I've *NEVER* had any troubles or issues with
libgcc.a and libstdc++.a/libg++.a linked binaries on SunOS 4.1.3, Solaris
2.3-7, all of FreeBSD, HP-UX 10.20.
The current "--enable-shared" works fine. Why not make it the default on
Linux and leave the rest of the world defaulting to static libs.
