Please see the big comment below the elseif line, the link to the kde-core-devel and http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=138244424421211&w=2: the issue here is that if you pass -fno-exceptions to clang you need to guarantee it is not going to include any headers that throw exceptions either, even if it is in some template code that never gets instantiated.

For example, this does not build with clang++ -fno-exceptions, but does with GCC 4.8:

  #include <exception>
  template <typename T>
  struct S { void f() { throw std::exception(); } };

This was a problem for kdelibs including OpenEXR headers, or kdepim including pimlibs headers that all fell into this case.
