It may be the case that your program was linked with something which uses uses libgcc_s.so. To see whether your program was linked with libgcc_s.so, you need to do something like "objdump -p FILE | grep NEEDED". If you see libgcc_s.so on that list, then your program was linked with libgcc_s.so. ldd, on the other hand, does the transitive closure. That is, ldd will print any shared library which was used by your program or by any shared library which your program linked against, recursively. > Yes, there is a /usr/rcf/lib/libgcc_s.so that MUST remain where it is. > I simply don't want to link to it with my *other* (production) GCC. Actually, I was asking whether you had a libgcc.so file somewhere. That would be another way to get a dependency on libgcc_s.so: if -lgcc causes the linker to find libgcc.so, and that file has a DT_SONAME of libgcc_s.so. Ian
