Has anyone been able to get g++ 2.8 working in 2.2-stable?  I compiled
the compiler and libstdc++2.8 but exceptions don't work.  Any throw,
whether caught or not, causes the program to end with signal 6 and
print Abort trap.

I compiled 2.8 on SunOS 4.1.3 and exceptions work.

Here's a program that fails on FreeBSD but works on SunOS:
#include <iostream.h>
class anerror { };
int main() {
try {
	throw anerror();
}
catch (anerror) {
	cout << "caught\n";
	return 1;
}
cout << "not caught\n";
return 0;
}
