Hmm. Until recently valgrind didn't work on statically linked executables at all. But I did duplicate your bug report (with gcc 4.2.2 on an AMD-64 RHEL 4 machine). I suggest that you ask the valgrind list if this is a real issue or a glitch with valgrind. AFAIK the same code in __cxa_begin_catch is used in both cases (static or dynamic). It might be that valgrind doesn't know that this is exception-handling code if you link statically, and doesn't do the right special-case handling.
