Here is something I believe we should test

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2001-08/msg00153.html

I don't know if it is complete. Also we need to know exactly how the
libgcc will be changed in the future so that we can test those cases. 
Assuming a new version name, GCC_3.1.2, introduced for _Unwind_Find_FDE
in a future gcc, should we include the new _Unwind_Find_FDE in libc.so
when we recompile glibc with the new gcc? If we do, we should also
test those cases. It is not an easy test.
