Yes. If you only have a few objects with exceptions it works, but if
you declare too many then the compiler breaks (internal errors, SIGSEGV
etc.). Not just DJGPP, gcc in geneal does that.

It isn't purely DJGPP specific, it's gcc in general (DJGPP doesn't add
any syntax to gcc). If you searched in the info gcc you would find
plenty on exceptions, templates etc.
That's why it's not in the FAQ. The FAQ describes those features which
cannot be deduced from the general gcc documentation (for instance aspects
of the DOS specific memory system, video handling, etc.). It doesn't tell
you about the gcc extensions or language features because they are already
described in the gcc documentation.
