  Hey.  Well, I'm hacking on 1.1.2 now (as you know from my question
yesterday) and am back to trying to figure out how to do this without
needing to hack collect2 in a way you consider ugly.

  Adding it to LINK_SPEC appears to make it come before the -L's and
such that are generated automatically.  Yet these aren't generated in
LIB_SPEC either, as far as I can tell.  I need to figure out where the
-L's for the "normal" library paths get built, and put a new -L after
that.  I'll hunt around for it, but if you can suggest where to put
it, I'd appriciate it.  (I need to add a -L/shlib *after* the
egcs-specific lib dirs, since there may be duplicates of things like
libgcc...)

  Thanks.

  As a seperate [hopefully quick] question, is there support for
building/installing a libgcc.so?  I don't see anything that does it (for linux,
or the like) that I can try to mirror...
