Why do so many developers not link in gcc*.dll statically? We've pretty 
well always done that with Mozilla (I screwed up the recently uploaded 
SeaMonkey 2.6). The license allows it (GPL with linking exception, Peter 
got Knut to update the Innotek licensing).
Just need to set GCCOPT=-static-libgcc or as I have, set GCCOPT=-pipe 
-static-libgcc.

Must only be using a small function in gcc446.dll as it does actually 
start. IIRC there are only a couple of small functions in gcc*.dll.
For comparison I built a SeaMonkey with gcc 4.4.6 forgetting to link 
statically and it wouldn't even start with out gcc446.dll
