Well, here's the log from the port:

  revision 1.52
  date: 2000/12/21 19:40:39;  author: reg;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -2
  Explictly link against libgcc_r, to work around bugs in 4.2-RELEASE 
  onwards and -CURRENT.  I'm still not sure why the bug was exposed only 
  recently, but it is due to libstdc++ being linked without the -nostdlib 
  option (causing it to be statically linked against libgcc even for the 
  threaded case).

They could have used the same fix at mozilla.org....
