As noted by others, on IRIX you'd use 'elfdump -L' to find whether the
DT_RPATH was set in the ELF dynamic section. (Linux: 'readelf -d')

This probably means that libgcc.a is being linked instead of
libgcc.so. This is almost always what you want anyway. If want
shared libraries otherwise, try using the '-static-libgcc' option with
gcc. I'd suspect that --disable-shared ends up switching off linking
with shared objects, with the effect on libgcc.so "collateral damage".
