It may be caused by using too old a version of binutils, or by the
lack of libgcc_s, introduced in GCC 3.0.  One of the main reasons to
introduce libgcc as a shared library was to allow throwing and
catching of exceptions across shared libraries even in cases of
dlopening.  I'm not sure you're dlopening or just dynamic-linking with
shared libraries.
