# find / -name libgcc_s.so.1
/opt/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
/opt/local/lib/sparcv9/libgcc_s.so.1

Allthough libgcc_s.so.1 is not found it is in /usr/local/lib (in the same
location as the readline library above) via a symbolic link. I make
/usr/local a link to /opt/local. I could understand if all the libraries in
/usr/local/lib were not found, but not just one.

I have used gcc from sunfreeware.com.
