I think the situation now is much better than it used to be when
libgcc_s/libgcc_eh was added, at that point there was no --as-needed support
and we wanted to avoid linking -lgcc_s into every program when it didn't
actually need it.  So currently that is mostly compatibility with very old
stuff or with people doing weird things (e.g. linking -lgcc_eh in), or
with people on less capable targets, or if we were to add new _Unwind_*
entrypoints (e.g. _Unwind_GETIPInfo was problematic, as older unwinder
implementations didn't have that symbol and thus it could be picked from
a different unwinder that had it).
