Well, it will re-enable crippled systems (of course, you have to get the
pre-compiled library there somehow) and it can act as a "solution" if you
really must run a binary compiled with the broken libc on a non-broken
system. (Currently, that means running a Debian binary on a Red Hat
system... hmm.)

Oops, I developed that example on an x86 and forgot to fix it up. Clearly
you need to use the correct libgcc.a for your native alpha compiler.
Have fun,
