Perfect.  That fixed the problem and I now see gcc49/lib64/libgcc_s.so installed.

I am guessing that I would need to enable this for any version of gcc I might also want to build from pkgsrc.  Is that the expectation?

Why is this not the default?  It would seem that if we build a pkgsrc compiler we would always want all the associated libraries, but perhaps I am missing something.

Thanks again for the tip.

Cheers,
