s/for/before/ ??

You don't want system binaries that want /lib/libgcc_s.so.1
to use /usr/local/lib/gccXX/libgcc_s.so.1, though.  Wouldn't
your option 3 do that?

[Not brighter than you, but]

   o For our system libgcc, use libcc_s.so.1 (or some other
     name) instead of libgcc_s.so.1?

   o Change affected ports to use -rpath when building?
