Thanks for that. I'll try it.

So what's the -fno-exceptions for then? If you are not using exceptions 
I expect the compiler to not create the corresponding code (ie stack 
unwinding etc).
As I have exceptions in my code, I would expect the option 
-fno-exceptions to create code which just crashes/exits the program in 
case of a thrown exception. Am I wrong?

I will try to find documentation.
