I've been thinkin about this for ages, but there are some apps which use
exceptions, and some that use RTTI; both of which need to be present in
any C++ support libraries.  This means that you can't compile kdelibs with
either of those flags, but perhaps you can with kdebase.

However, even though mico has tied us to egcs 1.1.x, there are different
flags needed to enable exceptions on different systems.  It would probably
be best to test for what's needed to disable exceptions and/or rtti, and
then, what's needed to enable them.
