>Description:
boost-lib fails to build on earmv7hf, I tracked it down to exceptions
handling in c++. This small test program, made from boost config tests,
reproduces it:

// DESCRIPTION: The compiler in its current translation mode supports
// exception handling.
namespace boost_no_exceptions{
void throw_it(int i)
{
throw i;
}
int test()
{
try
{
throw_it(2);
}
catch(int i)
{
return (i == 2) ? 0 : -1;
}
catch(...)
{
return -1;
}
return -1;
}
}
int main(){ return boost_no_exceptions::test(); }
EOF
compile with:
c++ -o /tmp/conftest -g /tmp/conftest.cpp
On a x86_64 8.0_BETA host, this gives:
>/tmp/conftest
>echo $status
0
but on earmv7hf:
>/tmp/conftest
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'int'
terminate called recursively
Abort
>echo $status
134

It works for me in -current, and there are various toolchain parts not yet
pulled up.

AFAIK all pullup requests have been processed now, and this didn't fix
the problem on netbsd-8 for me. There is probably a missing pullup still.
Any idea where to look at ?

This now also works on the netbsd-8 branch for me, can you confirm?

Yes, it works earmv7hf built with default options. This PR can be closed.
