I have been testing following patch on hammer.
linuxthreads built just fine and NPTL libraries too,
and in both cases libraries had the same exported symbols as without
the patch (though its .text slightly shrunk because it no longer contained
unneeded libgcc_eh routines (and also libc.so has fewer .plt slots).
Unfortunately, sln in NPTL build doesn't link, as libgcc_eh.a is needed
in this case.
So, IMHO we need my Makerules change and Daniel's patch.

	* Makerules (LDFLAGS-c.so): Remove -u __register_frame.
	* Makeconfig (gnulib): Remove -lgcc_eh.
