Most non Linux platforms do not link in libgcc.a by default. libkhtml.so
uses exception handling. So it has undefined references to __eh_rtime_match
etc.

A stand alone binary like konqueror or khelpcenter does not have libgcc.a
linked in the current build system. Therefore, they crash at runtime,
when they dlopen(3) libkhtml.so and do not find __eh_rtime_match.

I've found that linking such executables with -lgcc -Wl,-export-symbols
fixes the problem. Can someone make the right changes to the build
system for this ?
