This means that the __cxa_throw symbol appears to be in libstdc++ (for symbol versioning purposes), but is actually in the ABI library. If you tell gdb to put the breakpoint on __cxa_throw itself, then it should tell you that there are multiple definitions and ask which one you want (if it doesn't, it's a gdb bug).

This is on 10.0-CURRENT r244738 amd64. The commands 'b __cxa_throw' and
'catch throw' seemd to be identical, and gdb does not ask about multiple
versions of __cxa_throw.
To be honest, I don't care exactly whose bug it is, I want it to work again :D
