Turns out the only place it was documented was on an apple development 
list, and their list archives are hidden behind a basic auth (with a 
public password... kinda weird), so it never got indexed anywhere by google.

Long story short, it's an issue peculiar to darwin's linker (suprise, 
surpise), and is fixed by adding "-fno-coalesce" to the cflags when 
using exceptions.  I've got a workaround for now to let me build, I'll 
make a proper automake check as soon as I get the chance.
