Without any code, it's impossible to figure out why you're getting this.
Post a short test case and someone will look into it. Short answer is
that it's there and it works.

Are you including <new> in your code to pick up the right prototype?

no.

here's a quick example (haven't tested it, so beware for syntax errors
and so on):

  #include <new>
  #include <iostream>

  void my_handler () {
    cerr << "no more memory" << endl;
    abort ();
  }

  int main( void ) {
   set_new_handler (&my_handler);
   int *foo = new int [100000000];
  }

$ c++ -o new-handler new-handler.cc
$ ./new-handler
