Doh!

Sounds good.

I was tempting to do something like this:

diff --git a/gnu/packages/gcc.scm b/gnu/packages/gcc.scm
index a7156bf..dd33a26 100644
--- a/gnu/packages/gcc.scm
+++ b/gnu/packages/gcc.scm

I believe this is enough to address what the comment mentions (glibc
dlopening libgcc_s for pthread functions), but this will need testing.

WDYT?
