Hi, 

I've found something interesting which may help tracking this down:

taking the same assembler code (from a C++ test file using exceptions), 
assembling it with the binutils as and then looking at it with 
`objdump --reloc class.o` yields a difference which seems to cause the 
trouble:

with binutils-2.10 I get
RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.eh_frame]:
OFFSET   TYPE              VALUE 
0000001c R_SPARC_32      .text+0x00000008
[...]

while it's with binutils-2.11
RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.eh_frame]:
OFFSET   TYPE              VALUE 
0000001c R_SPARC_UA32        .text+0x00000008
[...]

(R_SPARC_UA32 is reloc type 23 btw.)

I don't know what to do further, but this seems to be the important part 
why it won't work.

If anyone is interested I can provide the files I've used.
