Danger, Will Robinson: the g++ from gcc-4.2.0 does not have any support for catching exceptions thrown across DLL boundaries. Nor does it include the fix for empty strings (PR24196).


The former problem can be solved by building libgcc shared, and libstdc++/libsupc++ shared. Absent modern libtool support (which is partially present only in trunk), this will be tricky. But even when you get an initial DLL version of these libraries, there will certainly be a long shakedown period...

So don't anybody here on the cygwin list get too excited yet. <g>
