Those are missing functions from libgcc.a which are not currently
included in our version.  

However g++ exceptions work poorly (if at all) in the current 2.7.X
release.  There is work in progress to make this better in the next
gcc/g++ release. Until the core functionality works, there is little
benefit to providing those functions.
