descr
        The Xerces-Perl module is implemented as a shared object. It needs 
        some symbols from libgcc.a, such as __eh_alloc. It's not possible
        to link the xerces-P shared object with libgcc.a, because libgcc.a
        is not compiled with -fPIC. Hence we need to have the missing 
        symbols in the Perl executable. 
        This hack includes the whole libgcc.a in the Perl executable, and
        links with c++ so that some mandatory symbols such as __pure_virtual 
        are also included. It should go away with GCC-3.0, or if we make a
        libgcc.so on day.
