libgcc_s

- Subject: libgcc_s
I'm trying to ship an executable on AIX that is compiled and linked g+
+. (g++ is calling AIX's ld under the covers.)
I'm trying to figure out the best way to do it -- should I link it
statically or should I also ship the extra libgcc and libstdc++
libraries? In the process of weighing the pros and cons, I noticed
that the executable is not using libgcc.a but libgcc_s.a.
Can someone tell me what libgcc_s.a is? How does libgcc.a differ
from libgcc_s.a? I can't find a reference to it in the gcc manual.
My real question is when does g++ use one or the other? If I
automate the packaging, it needs to know which one to ship.
Thank you,
