I have found that using DWARF-2 debugging information for
gcc-3.X (both gcc-3.0.3 and CVS head) breaks C++ exceptions
for target i586-pc-msdosdjgpp. 

C++ exceptions works for this target both with -gcoff and -gstabs.

Contents of .eh_frame section is identical if I use -gcoff and -gstabs
but slightly different when I specify -gdwarf-2. An attempt to manually
copy in contents of .eh_frame section in assembler file (from one built
using -gstabs) fixes the problem. 

So it seems that use of -gdwarf-2 causes the generation of wrong contents
of .eh_frame section. As far as I verified there is no similar problem
for i686-pc-linux-gnu

Andris

PS. here are diffs between assembler sources (.eh_frame section only).
	Other compiler options (-O2) were identical for all tests and code
	in .text section were identical both when I requested DWARF2
 	and stabs debugging info
