That's precisely the problem: in MLB, we explicitly link in the
libraries gcc would have implicitly linked in, but, without my patch,
duplicate library removal would turn `-lgcc -lc -lgcc' into `-lc
-lgcc'.  This is wrong in case libgcc overrides symbols from libc.
This was how the problem was first noticed.

Thanks, I'll check it in later tonight, when my end of the network is
not as congested.
