G++ 2.7.0 supports exception handling for the Intel x86, so it should
work under DJGPP.  Static template members are not fully supported
yet in 2.7, but remember that you can still use them if you are willing
to give explicit definitions for each one.

template <class T>
class A
{
  static T t;
}

int A::t;
double A::t;

etc.

There are some other new features in C++ that aren't implemented
in 2.6.x, for example RTTI (run-time type information) which is
supported under 2.7.0, and partial specialization of templates
(this is VERY new), template member functions, namespaces,
and maybe some other minor things, which aren't available in 2.7.

(This topic would be better discussed in gnu.g++.help ).

Gordon.
