The latter is not just a symlink to the former, but is a small pseudo-
library that tells the linker to use the .so.1 version instead. As we
do not pass -L to this directory to the linker invocation, the linker
thus cannot find it, and so errors out.
We rightly do not want the linker doing "magic" things for us that
we don't expect, and so even if this one case is fine, we shouldn't
allow the linker to take care of this automatically for us when
it comes to libroot and other core system functionality, especially
as going forward we may indeed add a second libgcc version due to ABI
breaks. Instead, link against .so.1 directly.
Fixes the build breakage caused by the GCC 7 bump.
