That was a strong suspicion and my test of it was not good as I was unsure if the pets I tested were even installing.libgcc_s.so.1 from Carolina 1.1 allows me to run LibreOffice 4.1.4.2 on Fluppy. I haven't tested it extensively, but the program runs and seems fine on first inspection.
It is one of those segmentation fault inducing libs as its core to the compiling process and binaries built with gcc are supposed to match it in some way...not an area of expertise on my part.
Nice find mate.... I will do a retest using your library...or at least one thats ok on 4.12 if it does not get on. (or use LDLibrary as you suggest)
I like a bit of future proofing
You definately get a puppy tee shirt....
One thing I wonder is if altering libgcc would affect anything else ...indeed compiling comes to mind...but perhaps it could be added to the open office install so it gets used instead of the native one...I will play now we have something to work with
