You can use the configure option
--enable-cxx-flags=-fno-exceptions
to create a C++ compiler without exceptions for the standard C++ library and
the built in new/delete operators.
In some cases you want this to save code space. Unfortunately this goal cannot
be achieved. In guard.cc the class __gnu_cxx::recursive_init_error is defined
which pulls in pure.cc via std::exception which depends on the IO libary.
