Mine looks like this, so i'm

root@kw:/lib # ls -l /lib/libgcc_s.* /usr/lib/libgcc_s*
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     34 Jul 17  2015 /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 -> 
/usr/local/lib/gcc48/libgcc_s.so.1
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  59728 Feb 18  2015 /lib/libgcc_s.so.1-bak
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     18 Feb 18  2015 /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so -> 
/lib/libgcc_s.so.1

renaming the *bak file.

Thank you Roland!\
