Wonderful, this simplifies it greatly!  I was wondering why the dlls 
were under /usr/bin. :)  Anyway, I'm waiting for the gcc bugzilla 
database to come back up and I'll file the bug.

Well since I've gone this far I might as well come up with a patch for 
the problem as well.  Luckily, I somehow made a mistake about the 
problem *not* happening on my first run of tests because I double 
checked and it did!  I guess the compare_tests script isn't perfect.  
Also, I should make certain that this doesn't affect other tests (for 
instance, we need to be certain that we're loading the correct libgcc).

Thanks for the help!
Daniel
