When I still tried to use exceptions, I think in the simple
cases the things you describe (at least derived exceptions)
went OK if the programme was compiled with:
  -O0 -fhandle-exceptions -frtti
(Yes, no optimisation). Before I got all those options, I used to
have a lot of trouble, and by te time I did get the options right
I just gave up on exceptions.

I still think I've got an example of a c++ file that gcc doesn't compile
correctly with the above options, but I'm not sure. When I bugged the
gcc team about this, the reply I got was that 2.7.2 is supposed to
handle derived exceptions (and I think the cach (...) ) correctly.
