So, digged a bit more into this.  When unpacking libgcc.a, then packing
a new lib with only the object files needed, and pass that to the linker
everything works fine.

In theory just using -lgcc should have the same effect, especially when
it comes last on the command line so even in case of a symbol being
defined in both tianocore and libgcc the linker should prefer the
tianocore version.  In practice that is not the case.  Debugging to be
continued next week ...

take care,
