What this is telling you is the linker, ld(1), can't find the gcc_s
library. ldconfig(8) tells ld where to look.
What does:
$ ldconfig -r | grep gcc_s
tell you now that you've removed that compiler? You should get
something like:
$ ldconfig -r | grep gcc_s
30:-lgcc_s.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1
i.e. It's looking in the system libs.
If it still tells you that the lib is under /usr/local/lib, then
there's your problem & you have to regenerate a fresh hints file, I
think.
The problem is that I've never (IIRC) installed a compiler from
ports & I don't know how it screws with the compiler toolchain & hence
how to put it right. Hence, I've cc'd this to hackers@ in the hope that
someone who is more familiar with the toolchain can give advice.
