           Summary: No cross-DLL exceptions in mingw32 compilers
           Product: Fedora EPEL
           Version: el5
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: low
         Component: mingw32-gcc
        AssignedTo: rjones at redhat.com

    Classification: Fedora


Version 4.3.2-12 of EPEL's version of the moingw32 cross-compiler do not
support cross-DLL exceptions.

I've attached the gcc bug report below. This make running a non-trivial C++
program impossible an renders the mingw32 toolchain unusable for real-world C++
programs.

The mingw-w64 toolchain has solved this problem by supplying a shared libgcc,
hopefully the mingw32 toolchain will follow this approach in the near future.

Please keep on your tremendous work on providing the ming32 toolchain in the
EPEL.

  TIA,

    Wolfgang
