Uh... NO!  Try running ``cc -v'' sometimes on FreeBSD.  libgcc.a is a
*REQUIRED* library to link against when using GCC.

There is C++ exception handling code in Linux's glibc2, that I cannot
fathom why they put it there.  I have a feeling your problems are the
fault of the software you are trying to port.

From other things you've said, I would say libtool could also have a bug
and be at fault.
