Why can't we link with libgcc, instead?

we possibly could, the problem is knowing the path of libgcc to link with.

gcc -print-libgcc-file-name

It wasn't clear if we used a multilib toolchain if we always get the proper libgcc since we are building bootwrappers for all kinda of variants. (e500, 40x, 6xx, etc.). My patch seemed the least painful solution to me.

I assume there is a reason we don't link libgcc w/the kernel.

This seemed easier to me than the makefile headaches to ensure that we get that right.

Ah come on, make syntax is fun!

Yes, yes it is ;)
