I have sometimes tried binutils development snapshots for DJGPP when I had
problems with exceptions using egcs-1.1 (egcs-1.1.1 fixed these problems).
However I choosed different way how to build binutils for DJGPP:
cross-compiling under Linux as in such way most MS-DOS related
problems go away. Currently I'm using for DJGPP binutils-2.9.1
that I built this way and didn't see problems yet.
Such way of course is not nice for releasing DJGPP binaries of some
package as requires access to different system and also tools required
for cross-compiling. But I think it is Ok for testing purposes.
