I don't see how it could throw exceptions if -fno-exceptions is used,
but I guess that an exception might not reach the try/catch if one of
the libraries was built without -fno-exceptions. 

But none of the *mm libraries should build if you use -fno-exceptions
without using the special --disable-api-exceptios build option, which
changes the API slightly. You haven't done that.
