This is failing the 3 tests that try to catch exceptions. It is common 
with compilers whose exception handling is completely broken. You are the 
second person this week I hear report that their solaris g++ is broken in 
this way, although the other one was using a package from opencsw.

Please check on trivial examples that exceptions indeed are broken.
