No, it isn't. :-)

It's the default in C++, or when you say `-shared' to build a shared
library.  It is *not* the default in C when you just link a program.

We could change that -- but the current status is that you will not
get shared libgcc if you say something like:

   gcc -o test a.o b.o

That will work just as it always has.
