OK, just a quick shot before I am leaving for today (it's 5 p.pm. in Germany now):

It seems to have to do with exceptions ( EH = exception handler? ), exceptions and
shared libs do not work together well until you have a shared libgcc. And a shared
libgcc you have starting with GCC 3.0. I cite the GCC 3.0 info docs:

      There are several situations in which an application should use the
      shared `libgcc' instead of the static version.  The most common of
      these is when the application wishes to throw and catch exceptions
      across different shared libraries.  In that case, each of the
      libraries as well as the application itself should use the shared
      `libgcc'.

So I strongly encourage you to switch to GCC 3.2. (GCC 3.0 has probably other problems.)
Note to use libtool 1.5 for this.

Good luck

Jörg
