ah, gotcha.  i cheated and just "grep"ped for "gcc_eh" and missed that
entirely.  i'll keep you posted on progress.

p.s.  i know that one way to see if a new combination builds is to
just pull all the old patches forward, just in case.  however,
although it takes longer, i prefer to start with a pristine
combination and add patches only after it becomes obvious that they're
needed, so i end up with the minimum set of patches *for my choice of
components*.

is it worth being this meticulous about it?
