gxx_personality_v0 problem with nested so

[Michael Harig]

hi.

i have a problem using the libavifile. when i make a simple program using the 
avi decoder functions of libavifile, all works fine. the libaviplay.so 
library uses without problem the shared object ffmpeg.so with the decoder 
code.
but when i make a shared object out of the simple program (in fact a python 
extension), the libaviplay library failed opening the ffmpeg.so with the 
annoying 'undefined symbol: __gxx_personality_v0' error.
i'm using gcc 3.3.2, and the libaviplay.so seems to be compiled with a gcc 
3.X either (debian sarge: ii  libavifile-0.7c102        
0.7.38.20030710-sarge1    Shared libraries for AVI read/writing).

any ideas? is there a way to find out with what gcc version the libavifile 
things have been compiled? or am i making some mistake?

tia,

	michael
