Hi,

The script config_office/configure is checking for gcc's exception handling 
method - 
sjlj or dwarf2.

I wonder if it is working or not and where the result is actually used.

MinGW gcc compiler is using sjlj exception handling that is known to be 
incompatible 
with alloca(). So I introduced BROKEN_ALLOCA macro.

Experimental gcc 4.2.1 is now available from MinGW community with dwarf2. So I 
think 
it good to use the result of configure script to use alloca() or malloc(). 
However, 
the script is not working with MinGW and I suspect that it is not working at 
all in 
other platforms.

It is checking the existence of sjthrow function but the function is not seen 
in the 
recent source in gcc.

Any information?

BTW OpenBSD's gcc compiler is also using sjlj exception handling and the 
porter, if 
any,  may face the similar problem.
