Hi,

I don't see this as a bug but as a nice to have feature. In addition, for
some libraries, the subset that could work with exceptions disabled could be
minimal.

I agree however that a list of libraries that works with exceptions disabled
should be built as well as the ones with no-rtti. Anyway, we need some
testers that will run the regression test with the specific options. Any
volunteers?

Best,
Vicente
