  The problem is in binutils, and the fact that it generates base relocs for
entries from EH data that should be just ignored.

  http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2011-09/msg00174.html
contains more detail, if you want to ask more let's do it on the binutils list.

  So to answer your question: the gcc language-specific runtime DLLs have to
be built using the patched version of binutils, otherwise they break when they
get rebased; that's why I'm rebuilding the gcc packages - having already
locally rebuilt binutils.  This will only be a big issue for anyone who wants
to rebuild gcc from source themselves, the new packages I upload to the distro
will still work for everyone regardless of what binutils they have installed
and/or how or when or where they get rebased.

    cheers,
      DaveK
