I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.5, and I've installed Emacs 19.31 from packages.
During the installation of GNU texinfo-3.7, Emacs is called to byte-compile
a few .el files.  This fails with the message:

ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libgcc.so.261.0"

That file doesn't exist on my system.

The shell script that does the byte-compiling, named elisp-comp, contains:

#!/bin/sh
setpath=/tmp/elc.$$
echo "(setq load-path (cons nil load-path))" > $setpath
emacs -batch -l $setpath -f batch-byte-compile $*
rm -f $setpath

What is the best way to fix this?
