This doesn't work on my system, not sure if I am unique. 

May be some strange error on my part, I am using;

$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4 20030723 (experimental)

for gcc config.

Details: run xmms or other threaded app and I get:

libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work	

I looked at the nptl code to find:

  handle = __libc_dlopen ("libgcc_s.so.1");

  if (handle == NULL
      || (resume = __libc_dlsym (handle, "_Unwind_Resume")) == NULL
      || (personality = __libc_dlsym (handle, "__gcc_personality_v0")) == NULL
      || (forcedunwind = __libc_dlsym (handle, "_Unwind_ForcedUnwind"))
	 == NULL
      || (getcfa = __libc_dlsym (handle, "_Unwind_GetCFA")) == NULL)
    __libc_fatal ("libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work\n");


So I tried this test program:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>

extern int __gcc_personality_v0();

void *handle;

int findsym(char *name) {
if( dlsym (handle,name) == NULL) {
	printf("%s not found\n",name);
	puts(dlerror());
	return -1;
}
return 0;
}

int main() {

	handle = dlopen ("libgcc_s.so.1",RTLD_NOW);

    if (handle == NULL) {
	puts("Didn't open lib");
	return 1;
	}

	findsym("_Unwind_Resume");
	findsym("__gcc_personality_v0");
	findsym("_Unwind_ForcedUnwind");
	findsym("_Unwind_GetCFA");

	dlclose(handle);
	printf("got: %x\n",__gcc_personality_v0());
	return 0;
}

This gave me:

$ ./test
__gcc_personality_v0 not found
./test: undefined symbol: __gcc_personality_v0
got: 3


Strange, __gcc_personality_v0 is not defined in libgcc_s.so.1, but the
program links ok!

Related info:

$ readelf -s /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 | grep personality
   273: 00006a50   481 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT   11 __gcc_personality_v0

$ objdump -t /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 | grep personality
00006a50 l     F .text  000001e1              __gcc_personality_v0

( but objdump -T returns nothing! )

So __gcc_personality_v0 cannot be dlopened with this gcc! ( I think)

Will continue looking ....
