I'm using a toolchain with glibc and the following simple program crashes:

#include <cstdio>

int main() {
  try {
    throw 42;
  } catch (int x) {
    printf("catch %d\n", x);
  }
}

with the following backtrace:

#0  0xb7747a92 in ?? () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2
#1  0xb74ac6b8 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6
#2  0xb74adbae in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6
#3  0xb763903a in ?? () from /lib/libgcc_s.so.1
#4  0xb763936b in _Unwind_RaiseException () from /lib/libgcc_s.so.1
#5  0xb76d0304 in __cxa_throw () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
#6  0x080486c1 in main ()

when run on the host with proper ld-linux.so and run paths the stack trace is
as follows:

#0  0xb7fdc424 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#1  0xb7d4073f in raise () from
/opt/gnl/usr/i686-gnl-linux-gnu/sysroot/lib/libc.so.6
#2  0xb7d41c5e in abort () from

#4  0xb7ecf40a in _Unwind_RaiseException (exc=0x804a048) at

../../../../libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/eh_throw.cc:82
#6  0x08048924 in main () at dupa.cpp:8


In the discussion with tom_kos and wbx on IRC we managed to pin the problem
libgcc_s.so. The problem only appears when linking with dynamic libgcc_s.so. If
the program is compiled with -static-libgcc it runs correctly.
