Mark,
While I don't see any particular differences in how
gcc 4.3 branch links its shared libraries with or without
r131198 applied, I do notice that it causes the xgcc created
to be linked against the system libgcc. Without r131198,
only the xgcc in stage1-gcc is linked to the system libgcc.
With r131198, all copies of xgcc created in the build are
linked to the system libgcc instead of that from the build.
Do we have any other targets that link gcc (and xgcc)
with the shared libgcc? I see that i386 and x86_64 linux
creates a gcc (and xgcc) linked to the static libgcc.
If any other targets use a shared libgcc for gcc (and xgcc)
they may be broken as well.
