Hi Phil,

as I understand the issue, in libstdc++-92 the support for the older exception
models is either *missing* or *broken* (sjlj case), only the new "call frame"
model is dealt with well.

I can be be wrong, of course, and I would *like* to be wrong (see my previous
message):

    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2001-04/msg00295.html

So, 2.92 cannot be compiled at all be *any* prerelease Gcc3.0 until (rth, I
guess) will back port the new model to the branch.

P.
