Er, is the directory name misleading, or have you picked up
libgcc_s.so from 3.1.1?  In theory that shouldn't be a problem; in
practice it could well be the problem.

Can you disable all use of dynamic loading and try the build again?
Unfortunately, the only practical way to do this seems to be to edit
configure.in and force DYNLOADFILE to be dynload_stub.o (right before
the line saying AC_MSG_RESULT($DYNLOADFILE)), then regenerate
configure.  (Might be a good idea to add an --enable switch.)

This will obviously not get you an installable build, but it will let
us narrow down the problem a bit.
