Hi!

Seems that I have got exceptions working for DJGPP with egcs-1.1.1-
prerelease-2 (at least things that are working under Linux).

   -fexceptions                                  - seems to be Ok
   -fexceptions -fomit-frame-pointer     - still unstable (slightly broken)
   -fsjlj-exceptions                             - broken (similary as in Linux)

Seems that it is no more nice to use target i386-pc-msdosdjgpp as
some things appears to be broken: I found situation where generated
code (C++) is invalid if compiler is built for target i386-pc-msdosdjgpp
but is Ok for i586-pc-msdosdjgpp. Also when egcs-1.1.1-prerelease-2
is built for target i586-pc-msdosdjgpp seems that exceptions works Ok
(except -fsjlj-exceptions or/and -fomit-frame-pointer is being used).
I had still broken exceptions from code generated by egcs-1.1.1-prerelease-1
cross-compiler for DJGPP under Linux
