-fexceptions in kdelibs

[Benjamin Reed]

In trying to package KDevelop, I ran into very strange linker errors 
with some of the bits that use exceptions:

---(snip!)---
ld: .libs/javasupportpart.o illegal reference for -dynamic code (section 
difference reference from section (__TEXT,__eh_frame) relocation entry 
(12) to symbol: QPtrList<KParts::Part>::deleteItem(void*) defined in 
dylib: /sw/lib/libkparts.dylib)
ld: .libs/javasupportpart.o illegal reference for -dynamic code (section 
difference reference from section (__TEXT,__eh_frame) relocation entry

Darwin's linker is very picky, and apparently won't let you link this 
unless all of the symbols match up exception-wise.

To fix this, I had to put "KDE_CXXFLAGS = $(USE_EXCEPTIONS)" into 
kdelibs/kparts/Makefile.am and kdelibs/kio/kio/Makefile.am.

I seem to recall some threads about enabling exception handling in 
kdelibs a while back, but I can't seem to find them at the moment.  Is 
this still an open issue?  Is it OK to commit those changes to kdelibs 
or should I just continue patching them in the MacOSX packages?

<jbeimler> yeah, rpm is for people who can't keep track of hundreds
            of scraps of paper
