> What is the nature of the functions in libgcc verses libc? libgcc.a contains functions that gcc itself needs merely to support a given CPU. For example, it may not know how to do a 64-bit multiply, so it would use libgcc.a to provide a function to do that. GCC normally generates this library itself when it can. libc.a contains all the OS and API stuff.
