New description:

 I know, I want probably too much. Would it be possible to compile GRASS
 libraries (at least core libs gis, vect, ...) with -fexception by default?



 The problem is, that for example QGIS, sets error routine which throws an
 exception, everything works (even on Windows) but only if GRASS libs are
 compiled with -fexception. If -fexception flag is not used, the exception
 is thrown, but cannot be caught in QGIS and program is terminated.

 I have recompiled with -fexceptions (note the s)

 {{{
 # using something like this:
 CFLAGS="-fexceptions" ./configure ...
 }}}

 and did not encounter any problems in GRASS 6.4.

 Radim, where do you want to see -fexceptions be used?
