 the gcc natively built libgcc_eh.a contains objects compiled with
 -fPIC for me, on amd64.  we don't do that for the in-tree libgcc_eh.a.
 (it doesn't use -DPIC.)  i'll need to look at what we need to do to
 properly do what gcc is doing.  i'm also curious about joerg's comment
 about what is missing from libgcc_s but libgcc_eh only uses ${LIB2_EH}
 sources, and libgcc_s also includes these.
 
 FWIW, the simple work around is to copy libgcc_eh_pic.a to libgcc_eh.a
 this at least makes print/cups build.
