[tbox-l] libgcc_s, gcc-4.0.0-1

[Bryan H. <hb...@us...>]

I recently upgraded to gcc-4.0.0-1 and gcc-c++-4.0.0-1 and now a C++ 
program compiled under the previous gcc3 will not run and C++ compiles 
fail.

The problem is there is no libgcc_s.a on my system, and presumably there 
used to be.  g++ does a "-lgcc_s", so it's required.  I looked at an old 
gcc-3.3.2-3.aix5.1.ppm.rpm and it does not appear to contain libgcc_s.a 
either.

Where am I supposed to get libgcc_s?

I found I could work around this with a -static-gcc option.  That causes 
g++ to use -lgcc_eh instead, and libgcc_eh.a is in the gcc-4.0.0 RPM.
