Linux-PPC egcs-1.1b g++ still not thread safe

Ahh! Of course, the thread-safe exception support requires knowledge
about the thread package being used. For example, the current
exception is stored in thread-local storage. Different packages
provide different APIs to access this storage, if they provide API at
all.

So in order to use it, you'd have to adapt egcs to that thread
package. Please look at gcc/gthr-posix.h how the POSIX threads
adaptation works. If you don't want to adapt it, you might be better
of using -fno-exceptions, indeed. Please note that you might need to
recompile all the libraries.
