Unfortunately, this fix is not working for me (not fixing issue I 
already encountered).  I do see libtool's exceptions test pass (for a 
32-bit build) , but it does not work for my own C++ application as a 
64-bit build.  It seems that GCC itself is causing the harm (or is 
just plain not working).  With no specific request for any of these 
libraries, this is the list of libraries that GCC 4.7.1 is passing to 
collect2 while building my C++ test application:

-lstdc++ -lm -lc -lgomp -lgcc_s -lgcc -lpthread -lc -lgcc_s -lgcc

I tried running collect2 manually with different permutations but was 
unable to find one which gets C++ exceptions working.

The Sun/Oracle compiler has never had a problem with C++ exceptions.
