The relro_test works by triggering a segmentation violation, catching
it in a signal handler, and having the signal handler throw the
exception back to the test code.  That works with current gcc, but it
doesn't work with older versions of gcc.  I committed this patch so
that the test also passes if throwing from a signal handler winds up
calling terminate.
