Re: unaligned access using bash on glibc 2.5

Don't know but there's one additional factor.  config/linux.h defines
USE_LD_AS_NEEDED if HAVE_LD_AS_NEEDED is defined.  This will add
"--as-needed -lgcc_s" for eh support.  I just checked in and
HAVE_LD_AS_NEEDED is defined in my builds, but if binutils is old
it might not be defined.  However, I would have to dig into to gcc.c
to see what happens when -nostdlibs is defined.  My first thought
is that it shouldn't add "--as-needed -lgcc_s" when -nostdlibs is
present.
