The FAQ on gcc.gnu.org states in section 2.2 "Dynamic linker is unable to find GCC libraries" the following:
<snip> However, if you feel you really need such an option to be passed automatically to the linker, you may add it to the GCC specs file. This file can be found in the same directory that contains cc1 (run gcc -print-prog-name=cc1 to find it). You may add linker flags such as -R or -rpath, depending on platform and linker, to the *link or *lib specs. <snip> Seems that the correct location of the specs file is found by running "gcc --print-file libgcc.a" instead. Unless I misunderstood something I think this paragraph in the FAQ needs to be corrected.
