>Release:        4.1.1
>Organization:
Brno University of Technology, CSE dept.
>Environment:
FreeBSD boco.fee.vutbr.cz 4.1.1-STABLE FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE
>Description:
Installed gcc library /usr/lib/libgcc.a is not compiled using
--enable-threads. The description of this configure argument
in gcc-2.95.2 is wrong, it should be on not only for Objective C,
but also for C++ to enable thread safe stack unwinding during exception
processing.

From Orbacus C++ JTC-1.0.13 (www.ooc.com):
IMPORTANT: You must ensure that the version of gcc that you are using
was configured with --enable-threads. Without this exception handling
is not thread safe. To determine if this is the case, run nm on
libgcc.a and verify that pthread symbols are present.

>How-To-Repeat:
In my case regular arithmetic exception resulted in segmentation fault.
If the program was linked with the proper library, exception is correctly catched and reported.



>Fix:
Ship /usr/lib/libgcc.a compiled with --enable-threads!
