Following up to myself (tut,tut)...

I just rebuilt libg++ and libstdc++ with -current sources, and:

jelibean@elsie:/home/Deus/exceptiontest% cat main.cc                    1:41:08
// Quick test of exception handling - work out gcc's -f options.

// 22/9/96 Works on Linux and SunOS 4.1.4

#include<iostream.h>


main()
{
        cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
        try {
                cout << "Testing..." << endl;
                throw 1;
                cout << "OK..." << endl;
        }
        catch (int i)
        {
                cout << "Caught integer exception " << i << "!" << endl;
        }
        cout << "End of exception handling test" << endl;
}

jelibean@elsie:/home/Deus/exceptiontest% make                           1:41:13
g++ main.o -o test

Stop.

As the comments suggest, it works on SunOS and Linux - so what gives?
