This is the easiest solution and should work in all cases (except 3rd party
binaries, which need the "patchelf --set-rpath" solution).

Of course, even better would be to fix this globally, but that's not so easy (it
would require glibc to know the path of libgcc_s, but to do that in glibc would
create a cyclic dependency).  We could have the gcc wrapper add gcc's lib
directory to the RPATH of every binary, I guess.
