No. The libgcc.so is a system library and closely coupled with the libc. Since the interface of the libgcc.so has to be controlled very strictly this means that updating it will not break existing binaries, only new functionality (or bug fixes exposed by a glibc upgrade) might become necessary. -- ---------------. ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Red Hat `--' drepper at redhat.com `------------------------
