Yes. > I wonder why when I compile standard C programs using "gcc -v simple.c" > I can see that the linker adds the "--eh-frame-hdr" parameter ?

Ideally the linker would not generate an EH header if there is no exception frame information. It is possible to use gcc to link C++ code, and it is desirable to always create an EH header if there is any exception frame information, so if there is a problem here I think it should be fixed in the linker.
