Can anyone explain to me the difference between libgcc.a and libgcc_pic.a ?
Isn't the code generated by gcc PIC by default ?

Also, why is libgcc_r.a necessary ? I don't see such a beast on my linux
box. The only difference in build I see is -D_PTHREADS and searching in
the sources indicates that nothing is using _PTHREADS.
