	No, probably not.

	The base G++ compiler in GCC 3.0 definitely will support
multi-threaded exceptions on AIX.  Hopefully libstdc++-v3 will be fully
functionality with multi-threaded support on AIX, but support is not yet
complete.

	I would not rely on that statement for your business requirements.
If you need commercial support, you should get a contract with one of the
many businesses which contract for GNU toolchain support services.
