Back it up.  How much ram do you really save by using -fno-exceptions in
the libraries?

IMO, one should disable exception handling only in one's own code, just
because there are many apps that already use exceptions in CVS:

konqueror
kfmclient (konqueror/client)
libkonq
ksirc
some koffice apps (not sure which, or is it just RTTI that they use?)

RTTI OTOH is a different matter, as Qt has its own version of RTTI
already.
