Uncatchable C++ exceptions (Shared libs, arm-linux-gnueabi-g++) - exception

Question

I'm facing a strange problem related to exceptions thrown across DSO boundaries.
When the code is compiled for embedded linux board with arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++, the exceptions can't be caught, if compiled with normal gcc compiler from ubuntu everything works fine :(
To clarify:
We have three components:
one Executeable file, which loads DSOs via dlopen(), dlsym()..
one DSO file (libMod2.so), containing a class MOD2 which throws self defined EException
(derived from std::runtime_error) when calling throwException()
one DSO file (libtest.so), containing a class MOD1 which get's a pointer to class MOD2 located and calls MOD2::throwException().
void MOD1::setMod2(IMOD2* mod2){
cout << "Calling mod2 throwException()" << endl;
try{
mod2->throwException();
}catch(EException& e){
cout << "Got you!" << endl << e.what() << endl;
}catch (...){
cout << "slippery shit..." << endl;
}
}
The problem is now that the Exception couldn't be caught by the first exception handler on arm target.
I think the problem is produced when linking:
A nm -Con the DSO show some differences when grepping for EException.

The DSO created with ubuntu gcc has a additional symbol DW.ref._ZTI10EException. I think the solution is to bring this symbol also into the arm-DSO, but how?
Does anybody know this problem?

Problem solved!
The problem is not linker related, it was simpler, much simpler.
I solved it by adding RTLD_GLOBAL to the dlopen() call. It seems that the standard gcc in my ubuntu installation sets this by default and the compiler for the arm target uses RTLD_LOCAL as default.
