With python 3.8 and 3.9, we see intermittent errors of:

libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work
Aborted (core dumped)

which seem related to:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64797838/libgcc-s-so-1-must-be-installed-for-pthread-cancel-to-work
https://bugs.ams1.psf.io/issue42888

These tend to occur on debian 11 and ubuntu 20.04.

Workaround this by ensuring libgcc is preloaded in all cases.
