Well tried to figure out how to add it on my own and just kept
breaking the build, so hopefully someone may have time to look and
figure out why no libgcc-dev is created to install on the image. There
are packages that complain when installing them after the image is
built that this is missing from the image. I know of one other on the
gumstix mailinglist that has run into the same thing.

Thanks for your time.
