you may be able to determine the location of libgcc_s.so.1 with

gcc -print-libgcc-file-name

once you find the library you need to make sure ld.so can find it at runtme.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH _can_ do this but it's a hack. better to tell the binaries
(like psql) that need this library where to find it themselves using, for
example,

* edit /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig
* use the -rpath argument of the linker to set to the location of
libgcc_s.so
* recompile with LD_RUN_PATH set to the location of libgcc_s.so

man ldd

man ld.so

will explain these.
