Support exception handling on statically-linked binaries
The real-time dynamic linker handles exceptions on dynamically-linked
binaries through the dl_iterate_phdr function. The RTLD isn't invoked
on statically-built executables so thrown exceptions weren't getting
handled. There was a dummy dl_iterate_phdr function in libc with a
weak symbol that gets looked at when the rtld version isn't present.
This function was populated and gets called when the statically-linked
executable throws an exception.
It requires the GNU_EH_FRAME program header to be present. The base
gcc 4.4 spec file was modified to emit this header for statically-built
binaries in addition to the dynamically lined ones.
