Should we be linking libgcc statically (apparently adds on the order

Still open for discussion - what are you/others thoughts? Beyond just the 
on-disk size, there's the in-memory size and presumably a performance 
difference.
I think I would be after linking libgcc in statically by default. I would help binaries produced by ISVs to be more portable especially after we switch to a newer compiler in the future.
2. Follow the library layout guidelines set down by SFE
I would look at the guidelines again. If we are deciding that gcc will be the default/official compiler maybe we could use the standard paths for its libraries, etc.
3. Compile gcc to use Sun ld, but GNU as
+1

As Sun ld and GNU as are recommended by the upstream. http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html
