As noted here: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2008-11/msg00234.html
various components of GCC (xgcc, gcov, etc) are linking unnecessarily with gmp/mpfr. I believe we only need to do that for executables linked against libbackend.a (like cc1). The result is exposed when gmp/mpfr are shared libraries and appear in the ldd output. This bug was previously fixed in PR35107 but regressed during the graphite merge. http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/trunk/gcc/Makefile.in?r1=139854&r2=139893 -- Summary: [4.4 regression] GCC components unnecessarily link with shared gmp/mpfr Product: gcc Version: 4.4.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: bootstrap AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: ghazi at gcc dot gnu dot org BugsThisDependsOn: 35107 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38262
