I've re-read the diff of gcc-sh-linux package.  I think that for use
of shared library, the change of libgcc.a (of hidden) is required, at
least.

My point is, I don't think it is minimum set of patches, but it is OK
for Debian bootstrap.  3.0.1 is not OK for whole build.

I'll re-evaluate each part of patches if those are really required or
not.
