You're right. If your system GCC is > 4.0.1 then linking to the system
library could cause problems (i.e. the command line xgcc run won't
work). In the instant case, that isn't the situation because the command
line xgcc did work.  Either way, setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH appropriately
for the command line run should fix this and allow the original problem
(segfault) to appear. 

The original question was about how to reproduce an error which is only
tangentially related to accidentally linking xgcc to a newer libgcc.so.

I've run into this too, but it doesn't come up in practice if llvm-gcc
would just build properly :)
