Maybe an idea: if we detect a broken libstc++, issue a big fat warning 
message at the end of configure that any performance problems are gcc's fault 
and not ours?
Something like

***************************************************************************************
WARNING: Your C++ library seems to be unable to run without exception
                handling. Exception handling is used during the development
                of an application, but decreases performance in production
                environments.
                You may encounter performance problems when running KDE in
                this configuration. If there are updates available for your
                compiler, please apply them and see if those solve the
                problem. If there are no updates, please send any
                performance problems to the compiler's maintainers.
