 It's not clear to me if the exception-handling is deliberately excluded
 from the gcc toolset or not, given how small this change is, it almost
 seems like it. Anyway, I can't see a reason not to support this feature
 for GCC. Appending this at the end of build/v2/tools/gcc.jam makes it work
 for me (on darwin).

 {{{
 toolset.flags gcc OPTIONS <exception-handling>off : -fno-exceptions ;
 toolset.flags gcc OPTIONS <exception-handling>on : -fexceptions ;
 }}}
