Why/when was that line commented out originally? Also, afaik glibc
doesn't support anything other than nptl these days so we can probably
drop the GLIBC_ADDONS check. Khem/Phil?

It was commented out by Khem in this patch:
http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded/commit/?id=e96e82cd
for reasons that are slightly obscure but, if I had to guess, I'd say
that it had something to do with avoiding circular dependencies during
the toolchain bootstrap process. As far as I can tell nothing else was
added to replace it and the dependency just got lost from that point
onwards. I'm not sure whether the circularity issue still applies but
it would be worth checking that the toolchain really does still
bootstrap with the dependency reinstated.

Wow, it seems like this has been broken since 2008 and nobody noticed.
That line was commented out in oe-classic e96e82cd without any real
explanation and it's been that way ever since.
That said, forcing libgcc into RDEPENDS_${PN} unconditionally like this
is suboptimal, because programs that don't link -lpthread (or possibly
even programs that do, if they don't use cancellation) still don't need
libgcc. With this change it will be impossible to avoid getting libgcc
in an image, which will be a loss for those trying to build small images
with single threaded programs.

It's not exactly unconditional, it is conditioned by 'nptl' in
${GLIBC_ADDONS}. I don't know of a better way to handle this, please let me
know if you have any suggestions.
About why this line was commented out, I don't know. git blame didn't help
with this.

Well, true, but nptl is more or less mandatory nowadays. That
conditional is an artifact from the days when linuxthreads was the
default and you had to enable nptl explicitly if you were lucky enough
to be using an architecture where it was supported. I'm not sure if
linuxthreads even still works and I doubt anybody is building eglibc
without nptl any more.
In fact, the whole GLIBC_ADDONS variable appears to be vestigial and, as
far as I can tell, no longer does anything useful. EXTRA_OECONF in
eglibc.bb is hard-coded to pass just "--enable-add-ons" which causes
eglibc to enable all the add-ons it can find (and even this is
unnecessary since that is the default behaviour anyway).

There was some previous discussion of how to detect the precise
situation that caused libgcc_s to be required, though my recollection of
all the details is a bit hazy. I'll see if I can find it in the
archives.
In the meantime, it's maybe worth noting that the whole way that eglibc
is packaged is basically unchanged from the way that it was first done
back in 2003 and, to put it bluntly, is teh suck. (Notably, eglibc.inc
mentions LEAD_SONAME, which is usually quite a clear sign that suckage
can be found nearby.) If libpthread were packaged separately rather
than bundled up into eglibc, the dependency could go there and this
would probably solve 95% of the problem.

ah too early. I think you should spin out libpthread into separate package and then RDEPEND_libpthread = "…"
and don't use nptl we do not have any other option now a days.

This would be my suggestion. I'd also want to make sure there is a
libpthread-dev (which for some reason I think there already is) because the
links in there are required for on-target thread debugging...

As I keep mentioning, rightly or probably more wrongly we support one
-dev package per recipe right now, not multiple packages.

Really? If those links are needed for thread debugging then it sounds
like they should be in libthread-db, not in any -dev package.

I'm pretty sure I'm misremembering the issue. It's the libthread-db that needs
the link for debugging. Last time I was playing with this was pre-Denzil and it
didn't quite work right. (gdb on the target debugging threads would say "hey I
need the ....so to debug".)
If nobody has seen that recently, then ignore that.. it's been resolved.
