Hmm ... so what should I do with mysql? Since approximately forever, upstream has recommended using -fno-exceptions (and also -felide-constructors -fno-rtti) in CXXFLAGS. [...]
-fexceptions / -frtti are essentially harmless, so I am curious why they were ever thought to be undesirable. -felide-constructors might have worked around some gcc bug perhaps, but it must not be an issue any more.
Seems like I should either drop the nonstandard CXXFLAGS, or hack CFLAGS to remove -fexceptions.
I suggest the former, especially without better rationale.
