Hello,

I've been using this compiler a few years ago and I remember it wasn't
possible to write a function that only throws an exception without
having a warning complaining that the function never returns.
Basically, the compiler seemed to "ignore" the fact that a throw is
supposed to return. It might be the reason of your error. My
workaround used to be to put a dummy return statement just after the
throw...

Except this issue, I've never had any problem with exception handling
on this platform so #defining BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS is clearly wrong.

HTH...
