Well, it's not a patch, I did it this way:
set gccdir [lookfor_file $tool_root_dir gcc/libgcc.a]
I think a test on these files should be possible. Unfortunately I'm not 
very familiar yet with this tcl stuff.
--pseudocode--
if test libgcc_s.so true then
	set gccdir [lookfor_file $tool_root_dir gcc/libgcc_s.so]
else if test libgcc.a true then
	set gccdir [lookfor_file $tool_root_dir gcc/libgcc.a]
else 
	'you miss the libgcc file'

I read it later that it is the negativ PID.

I started this way and this technique brought me so far.

I will investigate in this in a few minutes.
Thanks,
