Yes, and they both are almost certainly needed.  The reason is that
some functions in libgcc.a call functions from libc.a, and some libc.a
functions need functions from libgcc.a.  Since most versions of ld are
one-pass linkers, you need to mention -lgcc twice, or else risk
getting unresolved externals.
