I just finished building gcc 2.7.2 on a system that is running
Digital UNIX V3.2-D.  No problems.  The build went cleanly, and
the compiler seems to work fine.  Previously, I had been using 
gcc 2.6.3 and getting the warning about exception sections every
time I linked anything.  2.7.2 appears to have solved that problem.

Nothing special about my procedure, I just ran configure with no
options, and then did the make steps as outlined in INSTALL.

This system had previously had gcc 2.6.3 installed on it.  Maybe
that is the difference?
