...and I finally tracked this down to an incompatible change in 
koffice's FindGLEW.cmake (basically it was using a stale copy from my 
existing installation of koffice, leading to a build with HAVE_GLEW but 
not GLEW_LIBRARIES).

So... -no-exceptions does not preclude building koffice. At least not on 
my machine.
