problem with re-building a module (svx) and GSoC exercise clarification

   I have successfully done the full build and am trying to re-build
some modules (svx in particular but it occurs in others) with debugging
information.  I can get the 'svx' module to build but it won't link.
The output is below:

   It seems to be missing a library with cppu::getCaughtException()
function in it.  So I've re-built cppu, cppuhelper, and cpputools and
re-delivered them but I'm still getting the same error message
(according to opengrok, the function is in cppuhelper).  So, how do I
fix this so I can get debug info in this module?
    Also, for the GSoC exercise, do you want the behavior switched in
just writer or in all apps (CTRL N and CTRL S are global accelerators).
