Yes, I think that we all agree that this is a requirement: any new libgcc
must provide all of the old symbols, with 100% compatible ABIs.

Because dynamic linking may have subtle differences on different systems,
we will perhaps need OS-specific instructions to make sure that this is
the case. On SVR4-like systems, having the new libgcc be the first match
in LD_LIBRARY_PATH should suffice.
