I believe this is a gcc incompatibility.  When you compile a library -shared, 
it doesn't resolve libgcc symbols.  Instead, it expects them to be exported 
from the main program.  But when you compile the main program, it doesn't know 
that it is supposed to export these symbols.

As far as I know, the only way to fix this is to fix the collect2 program that 
comes with gcc.  Change collect2.c so that the function use_import_list 
always returns 0.
