To get exception handling to work in GCC 2.8.0 you have to set the
flag:
    -fsjlj-exceptions
Which I presume uses a different method of exception handling.

What does the flag do and why does it work when the other method of
exception handling doesn't?

Also, my info docs for GCC seem very out of date. Is there any up to
date documentaion out there?

David.
