libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work

[Guido Maria Serra]

the library is there, I guess the error reported is quite misleading

I have the same issue and the same issue was found in Fredora. See bugg: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=913519

The issue is fixed and I have tested the fix by compiling my own patch. This worked even for ubuntu 14.04. Maybe ubuntu team can pach and send the patch upstream?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I got this same error on Ubuntu 14.04:

I fixed this by downloading the latest source version (at time of writing, 3.1.0) from https://www.joedog.org/siege-home/ and installing it using the instructions in the INSTALL file.
