Well, debugging this is pretty non-trivial. I've figured out that
parse_lsda_header() is used for "language-specific data" in the objects that
the exception is being generated for, but half of the activity for this
happens within libgcc, for which no debugging version is available.
I've tried rebuilding cppunit itself with different -g options (-gstabs, or
without -g at all) to see if that would have any effect; it didn't. Still
bombs out at the same place.
Ah, but building with -O0 does the trick -- so there's a workaround for you
if you'd care to go with that.
Cheers,
