------- Comment #22 from howarth at nitro dot med dot uc dot edu 2008-03-01 20:43 ------- As far as I can tell, the shared libraries are being linked in the same way with and without r131198. I am inclined to think that the problem stems from the fact that xgcc with r131198 ends up being linked to the system libgcc. Without the r131198 change, only the stage1-gcc is linked to the system libgcc. With r131198, both the xgcc in the gcc and prev-gcc subdirectories are linked to the system libgcc as well as that in stage1-gcc. This all brings up the question of why xgcc on darwin isn't linked to the static copy of libgcc like on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu?
