This is not a DJGPP matter, it is a C++ library matter.  DJGPP only
supplies a C library, and for that the rules of C89 or C9x are the
defining standards.  If C++ requires a different handling of the exit
status, the necessary code should already be in the C++ library
shut-down procedure.  Otherwise the C++ library violates the C++
standard, and you should report that as a bug to the GNU C++ library
maintainer(s).

The C++ library supplied with DJGPP is simply a port of the GNU C++
library, like other ports in v2gnu directory.  It is not developed
as part of DJGPP, and therefore any genuine bugs should be reported
elsewhere.
