Description:   Opened: 2004-08-12 16:53 0000 
ive been struggling with my arm machines linking against libgcc_s.so for most
binaries and trying to figure out why this is ...

the guys in #debian-arm set me straight today ... since the generic arm spec
doesnt have cpu instruction support for math operations (like div/mult), an
userspace library is required to provide this support

gcc does this in the form of libgcc_s.so ... and since core files in
/{bin,sbin,lib}/ (like fsck!) need this library, we need to move it off of /usr
and into /lib since doing something basic as mounting /usr on a different
partition currently breaks horribly :)

and this actually seems to be affecting ia64 somewhat

gcc-config-1.3.8 now copies libgcc_s.so to /lib
