The error output is as follows: Those are missing functions from libgcc.a which are not currently included in our version. However g++ exceptions work poorly (if at all) in the current 2.7.X release. There is work in progress to make this better in the next gcc/g++ release. Until the core functionality works, there is little benefit to providing those functions. --jtc
