Konqueror core dumps on FreeBSD 4.0-stable because of the following problem:

konqueror base doesn't use any C++ exceptions - so it doesn't link the
exception handling code in libcc.a

Subsequently, it loads libkhtml.so via dlopen(3). Code in libkhtml.so
uses C++ exceptions, but doesn't find the exception handling support code
in libgcc.a

Now linking libkhtml.so with -lgcc doesn't do the trick. I get a core dump
in __eh_rtime_match. I believe this is because some initializations did
not happen for dlopen'ed code.

Does anyone here have any insights on how to fix this ? Without this,
konqueror is useless as a browser.
