Ok, so I dug deeper.

The *asneeded* libraries are indeed installed by both gcc16 and
gcc16-libs.  Letting gcc16-libjit depend on either of them is not
enough, because when compiling emacs against gcc16-libjit, the base
system compiler is used, and it doesn't have these libraries.

Requiring gcc16 just for that seems a bit too much for me, so I'll
change the comment in the patch to mark it as a workaround.
