That is likely *not* the compiler you've been using to link Python.
libgcc_s first appears with gcc 3.0, and unless somebody has seriously
broken your gcc installation, gcc 2.8.1 does *not* use a shared
libgcc.

I suggest to remove all gcc installations from your system except for
one, and make that one work, before trying to use it.
