We have a bug report at 

http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=503

that suggests that when building libraries with callbacks using gcc
the option -fexeptions should be used. It enables C++ programs
to catch the exceptions.
I've talked to a gcc expert and he says that using this option is
sane. It adds unwind information and on some targets it supresses
a few optimizations that break unwinding, however these optimizations
are no big deal.
In statically linked binaries the exception tables should
automatically be removed if the binary does not use them.

Any opinions?

Egbert.
