The change in signal frame handling for Ada broke some Java applications.
The Java exception support compensated for the signal frame bug.

I wasn't aware of the implicit dependence of glibc on libgcc_s.  ldd
doesn't show the dependency.

I think the mininimal change is to back out the version bump, and to
backport the signal frame changes to active GCC versions so that it's
possible to have a consistent set of libraries.
