In GCC 3, it shouldn't make any different what the main program is
written in.  As long as libgcc is linked in, statically or dynamically,
its initializers will run, and that will set up the exception handling
stuff for the application.  The initializers for the plugin will register
the right PC range tables and things should be good to go.  (Unloading
the plugin may be more problematic...)
