As I discovered earlier:

-fno-exceptions
-fexceptions

controls whether exception tables are written into object code.
I can NOT get them to work on DJGPP though. They work fine on both
my native linux compiler and my cross compiler that links with
the djgpp libraries to produce DOS executables. Maybe these options
are locked at their default values with the DJGPP port.
Switching to 2.8.0 might help because the default value is to
switch exceptions on.
