not by genkit itself - but they are by the makefiles for various  
packages

Makefiles should be using these variables. But then again, maybe they  
aren't - I haven't looked in detail.

Not for me - I've got gcc set up so that "it just works" (i.e. use  
the version from sunfreeware.com)

Have you confirmed that libgcc_s is installed under vol/gnu/gcc-3.4.4/ 
lib?
