libgcc_s.so.1 is new for GCC 3.0. gcc 2 statically linked libgcc. So it looks
like maybe you built beta8 with gcc 2 and 1.0 with gcc 3.

In any event, as Heinz says, libgcc.so.1 should be in /lib if gcc was correctly
installed - though if you are booting from an initrd it may not have found its
way onto that.
