since libgcc is available everywhere llvm is, it's as multi-platform
as llvm!  If we didn't use libgcc then we'd have to introduce an llvm
runtime library.  Since it would just duplicate the functionality of
libgcc, it would introduce an additional maintenance burden without
bringing any real advantage AFAICS.

Ciao,
