As far as libgcc is conerned, I think the only major change is the ability to
build a shared libgcc.

Yes, it's best to think of libgcc as being part of the C compiler proper,
but like you stated earlier, it's possible to compile source files even
without libgcc being available (usually system software does this).  It's
even possible to link applications w/out libgcc, as long as your code
doesn't invoke any intrinsics (and that can be pretty difficult to arrange
:).
