You're a little vague on the exact problem description, or what you are
trying to do.

However, if you are talking about catching/throwing exceptions across
shared libraries, you should look for David A's post on either this list
or the gcc list about this very issue. It gives current status.

I believe there is also a GNATS report. You might look there.
