OK- I made sure that -fobjc-runtime=gnustep-1.8 appears in my OBJCXX flags, and 
I'm trying a complete rebuild.  I'm now getting a compilation error when 
building a .mm file:

#error  "gnustep-base is configured to use 'traditional' exceptions, but you 
are building for 'native' exceptions."

The configure script for gnustep-base finds the GNU runtime:

checking the Objective-C runtime... GNU

but it's not able to link the uncaught exception handler, so it turns off 
native exceptions:

checking for objc_setUncaughtExceptionHandler() in runtime... no

Does this mean that libobjc2 does not support the uncaught exception handler 
code?  I'm wondering if this is a clue as to why my code crashes, whereas the 
libobjc2 tests are OK.
