You could try "handle SIGRT32 nostop noprint" at the gdb prompt.

Now that is strange... looks as though it cannot reach the personality
routine.  When compiling with -fPIC, the unwind info looks like:

        .byte   0x9b    # Personality (indirect pcrel sdata4)
        .long   DW.ref.__gcj_personality_v0-.
...
        .hidden DW.ref.__gcj_personality_v0
        .weak   DW.ref.__gcj_personality_v0
DW.ref.__gcj_personality_v0:
        .long   __gcj_personality_v0

Your crash is as if pc-relative unwind data isn't decoded properly.  But
this configuration seems to work for others, so... I really can't say
what's going wrong.
