| Broken in 3.4.3 on AIX 5.2;
| 
| $ cat x.cpp
| struct Exception {
|   static void raise () throw (Exception){ throw Exception(); }
| };
| $ g++ x.cpp
| x.cpp:2: error: invalid use of undefined type `struct Exception'

preferably

  static void raise () throw (Exception){ throw Exception(); }
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  "class 'Exception' is considered incomplete at this point, therefore
   cannot be used as an exception type in an exception-specification.

We do not have carret diagnostic yet, but we can improve on the error
message :-)
