libgcc_s is a part of gcc, you can't compile if it doesn't exist
(or if it isn't found).

You seem to have damaged the fedora installation. If you were able
to compile anything recently, think back to what you have changed
since then. You *should* find libgcc_s.so{,.1} in /usr/lib on a
32-bit host. Maybe you can use rpm to check the gcc installation
and fix it.
I suppose it's just about possible that you managed to create a
specs file on the fedora host during your build of 6.2: try "gcc
-dumpspecs | grep '/tools'" - If it finds any matches, delete the
specs file from the host.
