Benjamin, have you had a chance to look at this?
If you need more explanation of why this makes sense on SymbianOS, the
key point is that the ARM EABI allows folks to use an alternative C++
runtime library -- but we still need the G++ personality routine. If
you thought of libstdc++ as consisting of three things: (1) EH
personality routines, (2) libsupc++, and (3) STL, I/O, etc., then the
system library provides (2) and (3). We just need (1).
Thanks,
