Exceptions

[Chris Prince]

I have been struggling with some issues with the gcc-2.95.1 and
libstdc++-2.90.6.1.  The trouble occurs when I try to link with the new
libstdc++ library.  The compiler complains that there are undefined
references to __start_cp_handler and __eh_rtime_match.  All the errors for
these occur at catch(...) and exception& __fail or similar calls.  I have
tried to compile libstdc++ with the -fhonor-std -fnew-exceptions, but
apparently the compiler does not like the fact that in std_math.h there is
reference to passing a double to abs(int) (line 83).  I am able to compile
libstdc++ without those options, although. 

Has anyone else come across this.  I'm using SUSE 6.1 x86, gcc-2.95.1, and
libstdc++-2.90.6.1.  I have not found anything in the archives either.

Here is a cut of the errors:

/usr/local/lib/libstdc++.a(misc-inst.o): In function
`basic_ostream<wchar_t, char_traits<wchar_t> >::operator<<(basic_ios<wchar_t, char_traits<wchar_t> > &(*)(basic_ios<wchar_t, char_traits<wchar_t> > &))':
