The one from binutils-2.8.0.1.15 works.  as -v reports

GNU assembler version 970731 (i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1), using BFD version
linux-2.8.1.0.15

Sorry, if you're going to use the pgcc patches, we have no way of
verifying that it isn't those patches that are breaking exception
handling.

I believe that it is.  However, there's still at least one EH failure
on Linux even with the new gas, so your test may still represent a bug.
Or the problem could be the pgcc patches.  Please post your test case.
If it works for others, then the problem may be the pgcc patches.
Another possibility is that your test case breaks for everyone.
