Yesterday i tried to dig a bit some more in this issue, but i had no luck.
It looks like libgcc is needed on AMD64 only, on i386 i culd not find 
this library in the ISO, and i wonder why AMD64 differs from i386.
I haven't the skills to solve this issue, so if no one comes at rescue 
i'll ask d-gcc guys, who maintain libgcc.

cheers
