Funny for me, I just compiled some C++ code (using catch-throw)
exceptions and it ran fine.

Then for you, use gcc295.  But there is C++ code and C code that gcc295
won't compile.  That is why I keep gcc28 around.  I don't see why the
existence of gcc28 is a hardship for you.  I've even set NO_CDROM to not
be a burden for you.  It builds in 1 minute 30 seconds on my machine, so
its not a burden on the package cluster either.
