Hmm.  Until recently valgrind didn't work on statically linked executables
at all.  But I did duplicate your bug report (with gcc 4.2.2 on an
AMD-64 RHEL 4 machine).

I suggest that you ask the valgrind list if this is a real issue or
a glitch with valgrind.  AFAIK the same code in __cxa_begin_catch is
used in both cases (static or dynamic).  It might be that valgrind
doesn't know that this is exception-handling code if you link statically,
and doesn't do the right special-case handling.
