I'm thinking this is a Networker 7.3.x issue. While shipping a libgcc runtime isn't exactly something I'm thrilled to think about, it's kind of expected for a closed source application trying to run on multiple distros. For example, VMWARE does it as well.

But adding an application specific libgcc runtime to the system library path is pure evil. That's something that the application should handle via a startup script or other wrapper.

As such, I've decided this is a Networker bug and will purse it that way. More input still welcome though. :)
