If your linker does not support the --eh-frame-hdr option, then you need to use a shared libgcc. If your linker does support --eh-frame-hdr, then throwing exceptions across shared library boundaries should work even without a shared libgcc. This requires that the executable and all shared libraries are linkd using --eh-frame-hdr--it won't work with old shared libraries. Ian
