My proposal for the libgcc runtime ABI (ia64 gcc/glibc is broken.)

I disagree entirely. 

I think libgcc should be its own thing and its own thing alone.
We need to get glibc out of the business of providing libgcc
functions.  The best long-term way to do that, IMO, is once
libgcc.so exists, have libc.so reference it as DT_AUXILIARY.
That will provide for all backward compatibility wrt the symbols
glibc currently exports.
