[cfe-dev] Error trying to build libc++abi, unknown type: _Unwind_Exception

[Dan Eloff]

Thanks Howard,

I can now build libcxxabi.

However, I can't link it "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc++" (verbose
output below) which is the same error I get trying to compile a hello
world with libc++ and the reason I tried building libcxxabi in the
first place :S

I've spent hours searching about this on google and trying things, but
so far I've made no progress.

Cheers,
Dan
