Bug 435902 – armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi-4.5.4 - postrm(): bash: error while loading shared libraries: libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 433161

Updating gcc 4.5.3 to 4.5.4 on arm fails. After the failure, the system is unusable.

After that even an ls fails:
----------
icy ~ # cd /usr/lib
icy lib # ls
ls: error while loading shared libraries: libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It looks like that the file

/usr/lib/gcc/armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/4.5.3/libgcc_s.so.1

is removed before updating the file
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/05gcc-armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi.conf
with the new version and running ldconfig.

I used the following work-arround:
- open a busybox shell
- emerge sys-devel/gcc from an other shell
- recreate directory /usr/lib/gcc/armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/4.5.3
- copy libgcc_s.so.1 from 4.5.4 to this directory
- update /etc/ld.so.conf.d/05gcc-armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi.conf
- run ldconfig
- run gcc-config and activate new compiler
- reemerge sys-devel/gcc

An emerge without an available binary package fails with the same error.

Please attach the entire build log to this bug report.

Also, post your `emerge --info' output in a comment.
