[Bug c++/13337] New: exceptions don't get caught when thrown on AIX

["drewelmore at yahoo dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{   
 cout << "testing throw catch" << endl;
 try {
   cout<<"in try block" << endl;
   throw new int;
 }
 catch (int * i) {
   cout<<"in catch block\n";
 }
 return 0;
}  


when the example program is compiled, it dies with a stack trace as follows
(shown by dbx):
raise(??) at 0xd01dedf8
abort() at 0xd01ed898
_ZN10__cxxabiv111__terminateEPFvvE(??), line 47 in "eh_terminate.cc"
_ZSt9terminatev(), line 57 in "eh_terminate.cc"
__cxa_throw(??, ??, ??), line 80 in "eh_throw.cc"
main(), line 9 in "exc.cpp"

gcc was configured as "configure --prefix=/usr/tools/upgrade/gnu/gcc/3.3
--with-local-prefix=/usr/tools/upgrade/gnu/gcc/3.3 --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as
--with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs
--enable-languages=c,c++ -v"

on the same platform, a similarly compiled gcc 3.3.1 exhibits the same
behaviour, while gcc-2.95.2 works properly.
