The code currently in libgcc is the freestanding library, which includes some code called by various language constructs, and therefore needs to be linked in automatically. I don't want people to have to pull in libstdc++ to get RTTI support. The only other option would seem to be a third library, linked in along with libgcc. Then the trick is insinuating it into the specs file. Jason
