I am trying to finalize a cross compiler build for the ARM preprocessor. When doing the test suites, pthread_cancel() causes a SIBABRT and the error describes that pthread_cancel requires libgcc_s.so.1 to work. The libgcc_eh.a and libgcc_s.so.1 libraries are not included in the target system to allow more room for storage in an embedded system. In order to allow for additional programs when needed, the C++ compiler is being included. The unwind library that the C++ compiler needs for exception handling is causing the thread cancel function to abort. Would passing --disable-threads prevent the unwind library from causing the SIGABRT and would threads still work in the target? One thing that does concern me is that even if --disable-threads is the solution, there would still unwind issues.
