It's cleanup for dropping the dependency.  As far as I know, libgcc_eh.a 
and libgcc_s.so are always built together - either both are built, or 
neither is built - and there was already a dependency on libgcc_eh.  The 
aim of the patch series is to eliminate the dependency on both those 
libraries, so that a minimal static-only libgcc can be used to build 
glibc.
