Unbreaking gdb's catch throw

[David Chisnall]

Is this on 9.1?  In -CURRENT and 9.1, libstdc++ is a filter library, and libsupc++ or or libcxxrt are the filtee.  This means that the __cxa_throw symbol appears to be in libstdc++ (for symbol versioning purposes), but is actually in the ABI library.  If you tell gdb to put the breakpoint on __cxa_throw itself, then it should tell you that there are multiple definitions and ask which one you want (if it doesn't, it's a gdb bug).
