OK--I stole the idea from fortran/gfortranspec.c so you may want to look
at that while you're at it.

No. The exception handling issues only arise when using a static
libgcc: with a static libgcc, on some systems, you can not throw and
catch exceptions across shared library boundaries. This limitation has
been fixed on current GNU/Linux systems anyhow, with the use of the
linker's --eh-frame-hdr option.
