Yes, the new exception code puts R_PARISC_DIR32 relocs at unaligned
addresses.  "objdump -r libstdc++.so" reveals

Relocation section '.rela.eh_frame' at offset 0x37024 contains 1611 entries:
  Offset    Info  Type            Symbol's Value  Symbol's Name          Addend
  000c167e  4da01 R_PARISC_DIR32        00056914  __gxx_personality_v0      + 0
  000c1690  00d01 R_PARISC_DIR32        0003fe40  .text                     + 5114
  000c1699  01301 R_PARISC_DIR32        000cede4  .gcc_except_table         + 0
etc.

Seems like a change in the dynamic linker is needed to handle this
situation.  Something like the following should do it for you.
