ok, thats fine to me.
i think the worst part of the work is done.

major error causes:

the sse.* tests produce errors during dagselection (see log)

there is a problem when exception handling is used because
all the __cxa.* functions are not found (bei llc and when compiling c-backend code) (i guess thats what you were refering to)

and a few other failures i did not relate to this 2 groups


for more information:

here is a list of failures (53):

and here is the log of the above test run :
http://geldspeicher.entenhausen.at/dl/testlog.txt.gz (36K)
or
http://geldspeicher.entenhausen.at/dl/testlog.txt (556K)

(the test run is not complete, just what my computer could calc in 
one hour to check the sanity of th test)


kind regards
