Doh! You are absolutely right, I didn't notice that.

I provided "-static-libgcc" using "make menuconfig" for extra CFLAGS
arguments.

The busybox with my local configuration and this change is 187464 bytes
and no more has the dependency to libgcc_s.so. Before it was 187572
bytes, so it actually became smaller.

Thank you very much for your help. I was completely mistaken when
looking at the problem.

Best regards
