Is this new gcc supposed to be ABI compatible with 3.2.x? Because I can't link in libraries compiled with an older version of cygwin g++.

/c/temp/cppunit-1.8.0/src/cppunit/TestSucessListener.cpp: undefined reference to `___gxx_personality_v0'
/c/temp/cppunit-1.8.0/src/cppunit/../../include/cppunit/TestListener.h:33: undefined reference to `__Unwind_Resume'

gcc 3.2-3 used Dwarf2 exceptions, which worked most of the time. (In fact, I don't recall any bug reports at all on cygwin list). But it didn't work with w32api callbacks, nor with some combinations of compiler switches (notably -mcpu=i586 or -mno-accumulate-outgoing-args and -fomit-frame-pointer).

cygwin gcc-3.3.1 uses setjmp-longjmp exception mechanism,
mingw does too and has done since gcc-3.2.1.

The two undefined references are Dwarf2 specific.  The corresponding
SjLj symbols are __gxx_personality_sj0 and  __Unwind_SjLj_Resume.

Ok, are there command-line switches to change the exception mechanism used? I would like to be able to use cygwin gcc 3.2 to build libraries that work with cygwin gcc 3.3.
