OK, thanks. I am trying to compile the koffice suite here and has ran into a lot of problems, as you can probably see from my postings lately. This question comes from the fact that I need the MICO library and configure there gives me complaints about exceptions not working with shared libraries.... As it seems like they should work I will now investigate a bit further what is happening. > > The only thing I can think of that's sleazy on OpenServer regarding > exceptions is that sjlj-exceptions are the default for COFF and dwarf2 > range decoding is the default for ELF.

Good to know. BTW. Is there a gdb available for egcs compiled code? 4.17 complains with: warning: internal error: no C/C++ fundamental type 1 and is having problems showing the correct line of code after a breakpoint. I also tried the latest snapshot from cygnus. This seems to work better, but doesn't seem to understand breakpoints at all.... Sets them but never breaks. Dag
