no.  glibc dlopen's libgcc on the fly.  the pthreads source code has some 
comments in it explaining why.  although this chicken & egg problem is a 
pretty damn good reason -- you cant build shared gcc libs without a C library, 
so requiring your gcc to have shared libs would be problematic ...

i guess it is a bit misleading
