The __register_frame_info is newly defined in libgcc.a for gcc 2.8.0
and egcs. So the error indicates that the example is being compiled
with an old version of gcc or with a non-gcc compiler, while the
library was compiled with gcc 2.8.0.

The examples/ makefiles include the line CC=gcc, so things look
like they should be OK... Hopefully the above will provide some clues
in figuring out what is going wrong.

Perhaps 'gcc' is an older version of GCC?
