I would be very interested to know whether the libCom/test/epicsExceptionTest 
program detects this or not, and if not whether you could patch it so it does.  
IIRC Ron Sluiter discovered a similar problem with C++ exceptions on the 
target solaris-x86_64-gnu which was detected by that test routine; I'm 
attributing that failure to gcc, building with the SunPro compiler on solaris-
x86_64 works fine.

You can run that test by loading bin/vxWorks-<cpu>/vxTestHarness.munch and 
typing 'epicsExceptionTest'.

Thanks,

- Andrew
