I do not know that you have remember it we have discussed the EH on octave. I do not want to discuss the matter here. I also have build GCC-4.3.0(gcc, gfortran, g++). The build by gnuplot4.3 by GCC-4.3.0. It have been done without problem and the performace of binaries are fairly good compared to those built by the standard the cygwin GCC. Of course, it is a fortunate example. In principle, there exist many problems to use it. I have tried to octave build by GCC-4.3.0, it failed as expected. For users standpoint, which EH is better sjlj ot dwarf2 does not matter. Users always would like to seek the fast and stable compliers. I respect that cygwin team staffs are paying effors for preparing good complilers. I hope that thier effrots will be successful in the cygwin 1.7.
