Hmm ... so what should I do with mysql? Since approximately

upstream has recommended using -fno-exceptions (and also

-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.
