Hi all,

I've searched the list for answers to this question but came up with
nothing so here goes:

I'm trying to get GCC 2.8 working to play with the better support for
C++ exceptions and templates.  However, exceptions don't work at all,
has anyone else experienced this?

I looked at the EGCS FAQ, and it said that problems with exceptions could
be caused by using an old assembler, current uses the one from binutils
1.92.3 which sounds pretty ancient.  I tried building binutils 2.8.1 with
no success:

ld: tc-i386.o: malformed input file (not rel or archive)
	*** Error code 1
	
(That was after ./configure --host=i586-Intel-freebsdelf)
	
Any ideas?

Niall
