Oh, I just thought of something.  The user would need to ensure that
when libtool is generated (e.g. during configure), LDFLAGS includes the
intended -{shared,static}-libgcc flag. Otherwise, libtool's *_postdeps
variable will not include the "correct" list of libraries.  But then,
what happens if you use a different -{static,shared}-libgcc at actual
linktime? Or if you link some targets one way, and other targets the
other way?
