Well... [17.4.4.8]/1 starts with

# Any of the functions defined in the C++ Standard Library can report a
# failure by throwing an exception of the type(s) described in their Throws:
# paragraph and/or their exception-specification.

so I think if 3.0 ships with a library that requires exception handling,
we would be okay.  Still, it would be nice if we could build a library
that worked with -fno-exceptions.  I think we'd be looking at Yet Another
Multilib Configuration.
