Well it turned out not to be a bug in Aspell.  The problem is that the new
Libtool is using the Solaris linker directly instead of g++ to create the
libraries which causes a problem with exceptions.  You can fix this by
either setting the environmental variable LD to "g++" or appending "LD=g++"
to configure when configuring Aspell.  You should do a "make distclean"
before reconfiguring and compiling though.

Let me know if this solves your problem.
