As I have heard quite a few voices agreeing with this, most saying
it would solve their problems with the shared library issues,
and nobody with any arguments against this, I propose we go ahead
and make the change of splitting libgcc into a static libgcc.a
containing everything but EH (so this library has no global state
and can be replicated without problems), and a by default dynamically 
linked libgcceh.so containing all exception handling stuff.
