Package: libgcc1 Version: 1:3.3.2-0pre3 Severity: important libgcc1 package installs /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 but does not establish a symlink /lib/libgcc_s.so to /lib/libgcc_s.so.1. This causes an app that tries to link with libgcc_s with "-lgcc_s" to fail. Here is an example: ld -share -soname libevl.so.1 -o libevl.so evl_log_write.os facreg.os formatrec.os posix1.os posix2.os posix_evlsup.os syslogat.os query/q.tab.os query/lex.qq.os query/normalize.os query/evaluate.os query/qopt.os template/bvfmt.os template/lex.tt.os template/serial.os template/template.os template/tmplfmt.os template/tmplmgmt.os template/tt.tab.os util/evl_common.os util/evl_list.os util/fmtbuf.os util/format.os util/scanner.os -lc -lgcc_s ld: cannot find -lgcc_s If the symlink libgcc_s.so is created and ldconfig is run again, above command links just fine.
