I am late on this topic. Sorry if it has been resolved.

If we make libgcc.so, where do we put it? I hope it won't be in
/prefix/lib/gcc-lib/cpu-vendor-os/version. Otherwise, upgrading
gcc may break binaries. If we can encode the libgcc ABI into
it's soname, /prefix/lib/gcc-lib/cpu-vendor-os or
/prefix/lib/gcc-lib may be candidates.
