It does this by calling a support function defined in the C++ runtime, but that means that the C++ runtime must have the bad_array_new_length class defined there too.  Having the methods on those classes defined in libcxxrt and libc++ breaks things.

There was some discussion about whether we needed to support the case that old libc++ and new libcxxrt were used, but it's probably not required.  Bapt was going to check whether there were any symbol versioning issues with code compiled against old libc++/libcxxrt and dynamically linked against the new one.  

I will backout this change since it is not necessary anymore as well as upstream
the missing parts of the bad_array_new_lenght exception in libcxxrt in the next
couple of days.
