There is a problem with exception handling with gcc 2.96 > 20000625:

It seems that it is due to that the exception handling change in gcc on
2000-06-26 and glibc contains the older copies of exception handling
funtions from libgcc.a used to compile glibc.
I think we knew there would be a problem and we discussed how to
deal with it. I even proposed a solution:

I'd like to get it fixed. Should I investigaten it? I think we
should not export the default version, only the old one for binary
compatibility. We then make sure the main binary always export them
if they are used.
