Threads and exceptions

[Robert Osowiecki]

Hello.

I'm working on a multithreaded application with therrible error-handling 
(or no error-handling at all). I'd like to use exceptions, but this is 
what I've read on gcc.gnu.org:

>     You need to rebuild g++ and libstdc++ with |--enable-threads| .

>     in the main thread.

OK. I don't need to throw an exception between threads (and never 
supposed that to work). But how can I check if g++ included with my 
distribution is or is not already compiled with --enable-theads?
