Well, poking around inside the configure script finds this program:

#include "confdefs.h"
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" void exit(int);
#endif

class Ex {};

int main ()
{
  try {
    throw Ex();
    return 1;
  } catch (Ex &ex) {
    return 0;
  } catch (...) {
    return 1;
  }
}

If that fails, then exception support is well and truly broken. What
compiler are you using?
you might wnat to try 
CCC=<known working c++ compiler>; ./configure
if your c++ is broken.
