>Description:
Regarding the closed PR #4235 (not working exception handling under AIX):

I have experienced exact the same effect in my environment (AIX 4.3.3, GCC 3.0.1).

Could you please explain me in more detail how to apply the supposed solution:

 > Fix: Install shared libraries (both libgcc_s_*.a and libstdc++.a
 > with chmod a+x,o-r mode so that the shared objects are loaded
 > into the process private segment. GCC exception handling
 > places private data in the library preventing it from being
 > shared.

This solution does not solve the problem in my environment as well, so I am wondering why this has been closed.
Are there any further steps to be recognized in order to solve the broken exception handling under AIX?
