Is it too late to revisit just this decision, and at leat try to "factor
out" the problem a bit? libgcc is needed by a _lot_ of programs,
especially on some architectures. While exception handling is not
necessarily an issue for many people.

That way, even if no good solution that makes everybody happy is found, at
least we confine the problem case a bit..
