FULL System Upgrade gives me trouble

Ok I did a clean install of arch using my old CD 2007.05. I'm sorry but I'm on a 56K connection ...
When I did the Pacman -Syu, everything went well (please note I upgraded pacman myself first to be sure it was fine before doing the big upgrade).

Then I had to do "source /etc/profile" and "upgradedb" to get good paths and correct a few things.

After my first reboot, when trying running wvdial (and other tools requiring gcc) I had this error :

error while loading shared libraries: libgcc_S.S0.1  Cannot open shared object file

I corrected this reinstalling gcc-libs. But now, I imagine other libraries are not functioning since I get this error in wvdial,  :

[root@myhost fred]# wvdial 
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 
--> Initializing modem. 
--> Sending: ATZ 
ATZ 
OK 
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 
OK 
--> Modem initialized. 
--> Sending: ATDT5145992743 
--> Waiting for carrier. 
ATDT5145992743 
ERROR 
--> Invalid dial command. 
--> Disconnecting at Sun Jun  1 15:44:18 2008

I did a post about that in the network section here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=49855.

As you can read in the post doing "echo ATDT phonenumber > /dev/ttyS0" returns nothing.

Since gcc was not working after the upgrade, do you think a lot of libraries could be in trouble or missing and giving me this error? And which libraries could be needed for a hardware modem?

You may be interested in findbrokenpkgs - it's in AUR.
