Hello,

I notice that despite libgcc version numbering the default
is to link against "-lgcc_s" or "-lgcc_s%M" resp. Furthermore
libgcc_s.so is typically installed into $prefix/lib.

So on a system where I have gcc-3.0 and gcc-3.4 installed
in parallel,  gcc-3.x will link programs against libgcc_s.so.1.

Is this the intended behaviour? Wouldnt it be better to
hide libgcc_s.so into the same versioned directory like
libgcc.a and libgcc_eh.a?

Richard

Yes.

Nope.  That won't work.
