In that case, why do you need to know? :) It seems to me that either
there is a real functional difference, and if there is you should test
for that difference directly, or there isn't, and then you don't need to
know.

No. "gcc-cvs" in my path is my prefix, so in general, the path would be
"$(prefix)/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.5.0/libgcc.a", and there's no
"gcc-" in that.

It might be possible to get this path with FSF gcc if you don't
./configure gcc with --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs , but I'm
not sure.
