Here is the DT_AUXILIARY patch for the shared libgcc. After some
experiments, I believe we shouldn't even need libgcc.so under Linux.
We just set the DT_AUXILIARY to libgcc.so$(libgcc.so-version). We will
only have /lib/libgcc.so$(libgcc.so-version) which is symlinked to
/lib/libgcc-3.0.so. /lib/libgcc.so$(libgcc.so-version) is hidden from
user. Everything is still linked with libgcc.a.
I will provide the libgcc framework soon. It should be trivial to
update /lib/libgcc-3.0.so from a new gcc installation.

* Makeconfig (libc-so-aux): Set if libgcc is in $(add-ons).
(rpath-dirs): Add libgcc if libgcc is in $(add-ons).
* Makerules (+LDLIBS-c.so): Add $(libc-so-aux)
