If I remember right the gcc docs somewhere say that's not going to work
because the routines in libgcc1.a would be compiled into endless recursive
code.  Since it seems to be working for you, are the docs wrong?

What functions from libgcc1.a are being used on Intel?  Could they somehow
be eleminated?  Life is so much sweeter without having to deal with
libgcc1.a.
