Hmm... I'm not sure why this would be the case. I have relocated my libraries, and I have updated my specs file. Things work just fine for me (or it seems). I wonder if you could elaborate your assertion with an example.

I stated this is a previous email. I agree that the right solution is to "correct" gcc. The relocation that I have done merely serves as an interim solution for me.
