With my stock egcs-1.1b setup on i686-pc-linux-gnu, I can turn on sjlj 
EH with -fsjlj-exceptions flag, at least for the trivial testcases I've 
tried. 

This is the first I've heard of sjlj EH not work on a "well greased"
target like i686-linux. In fact, it's the one that consistently works, 
where dwarf2 requires a *lot* more work, including cooperation from 
the linker. I never did get dwarf2 to work under win32 for example, 
but sjlj worked like a champ out of the box the first time.

Mumit
