Arghh..

How am I supposed to help when all you can say is "I believe so" ???

Please understand that we cannot work based on same vague believes. We
need clear facts.

Please re-run the tests with

	$ USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=yes
	$ export USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC
	$ make mrproper
	$ make ..._config
	$ make all

and with

	$ unset USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC
	$ make mrproper
	$ make ..._config
	$ make all

And for an excercise, try to understand why USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=no is
bogus and cannot work.

Again, guesses are simply not good enough to spend any efforts. We
need clear, reliable facts.

Best regards,
