What this is telling you is the linker, ld(1), can't find the gcc_s
library. ldconfig(8) tells ld where to look.

What does:

$ ldconfig -r | grep gcc_s

tell you now that you've removed that compiler? You should get
something like:

$ ldconfig -r | grep gcc_s
        30:-lgcc_s.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1

i.e. It's looking in the system libs.

If it still tells you that the lib is under /usr/local/lib, then
there's your problem & you have to regenerate a fresh hints file, I
think.

The problem is that I've never (IIRC) installed a compiler from
ports & I don't know how it screws with the compiler toolchain & hence
how to put it right. Hence, I've cc'd this to hackers@ in the hope that
someone who is more familiar with the toolchain can give advice.
