Problem with catching exceptions on ARM

[Mathias Bauer]

Dear list members,

I'm currently porting a mid-size Objective-C library that usually runs 
on Mac OS and iOS to GNUstep/Linux. After several weeks of work I'm now 
a happy camper on my Ubuntu/X86 system, but switching to OpenSuse/ARMv7 
brought up a new problem that I couldn't solve even after several days.

I'm using the LLVM 3.3 Release Package from OpenSuse (official repo) and 
the libobjc2 sources from the GNUstep repo 
(http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/libobjc2/trunk).

Both where used for building GNUstep (I'm only using base as I don't 
have any UI).

The problem is that with this combination no exceptions are caught in my 
code. Means: try/catch doesn't work, raising an exception will always 
abort the program. The same code works fine on Ubuntu/X86.

Does this ring a bell for somebody?

Regards,
Mathias
