	The other applications are not portable then.  Or are they failing
	because they are being linked against libraries compiled with gcc?

	I've found that if you have libraries compiled with gcc you often
	can't link them into applications built with cc.  The reverse is
	not true.  The libraries built with cc are self complete and
	don't require compiler specific libraries to link against.

	libgcc_s.so is being linked in to do some math from memory.

	If you are copying the binaries and they were working then copying
	the shared library should also work.
