Well, the problem is weird, because that symbol belonged to 
gcc/cp/exception.cc
and was removed together with the whole file at the end of 2000!

Therefore there is no trace of that symbol in *any* official GCC 3.2.x 
distribution.

But, RH maintains a separate 3_2-rh branch and now, 3_3-rh branch, which may
well have that symbol in it. I have not double checked but it's the only
possible explanation.

 From a practical point of view, however, I'm not sure what to suggest:
is it a big nuisance for you linking the applications statically on the RH
box?
