These local hacks have never been submitted to FSF GCC lists. Without this patch, one option you have to allow exceptions across dll/exe boudaries is to build libstdc++.a and libgcc.a as dlls. This is not done by GCC makefiles, but can be done done manually. Libstdc++ dll relies on auto-import functionality, so watch your pseudo-runtime-relocs (a techno name for "blue psuede shoes") Someone may well ask why this local patchset has not been submitted for review on GCC lists, and that would be a good question. My answer would be that they need more work before submission..
