  Yes, anything that throws exceptions will need this.

  I have come to the conclusion that it was probably a mistake on my part not
to make shared libgcc default in this release.  I will probably do a fairly
rapid re-release to change this.  (Might move to 4.3.3 while I'm doing it, and
should I make -4 the default?)

    cheers,
