Tbh, when I look in the libgcc.h, excepted the header, it was empty. It seems that the forked sh doesn't known anything 
about CC, so I tried:
+	CC=$(TARGET_CC) /bin/sh $< > $@ || (rm -f $@; exit 1)

Well, finaly it doesn't help a lot, the dpkg-build... still failed at the same place:

_restgpr_29_x in boot is not defined

Just note that it's not any more _restgpr_31_x(), I presume just because nm list it first?

Well, whatever src tree (svn 2641, 2642, dpkg 1.9-beta3, 1.9-beta4) which I reach to all build with gcc-4.3, it always 
failed to boot:

Welcome to GRUB!

the symbol `__lshrdi3' not found
Aborted. Press any key to exit.

As I am newbe to grub2 (and have few programming knowledge), can you advise me if it's a well known issue?

Thanks for all effort,
