I knew about that, and I know it only applies to libgcc_s, not to any
other shared libraries installed as part of GCC.
Anyway, I must confess that I dislike this alternative, and I wouldn't
recommend it for other libraries. I'd like using the SONAME to
distinguish libraries from one another if doing so were portable and
transparent. But not all systems have a notion of SONAME, and options
such as -msoft-float won't get -lg2c changed to -lg2c_soft-float, as
it would be necessary for this trick to be transparent.
Not that I have something better to suggest :-(
