So egcs exceptions work if you DON'T use -fsjlj-exceptions. Okay. And you
said namespaces work? So, please tell me does egcs have
a) STL/IOStreams/C++ library that is ANSI compatible -- if it's in
Stroustrup 3rd Ed. it will compile and work?
b) Template instantiation that works -- no missing/duplicate symbols when
using a template from multiple sorce files?
