I'm sure it's doable, but you then have to carry around the cruft forever.
Given the fact that we won't support mixing gcc2 and gcc3 C++ code, how
does this benefit a user that has gcc3 and a gcc3-compiled glibc? He/she
would have to have some other C code, compiled with gcc2, that has
exception handling, and then mix it with gcc3 C++ code. Are we solving
a problem that really exists, or only a theoretical problem?
