If I fold libgcc in gcc 3.0 into glibc tody and change the gcc source
to use it instead its own, can I assume it will work with all future
versions of gcc from gcc 3.0? That is all the "well-defined, stable
ABI" about. Since you mentioned a different interface for EH, I can
change the gcc source to enable the new EH only if its support is
available from glibc.
