I am writing Ada 83 bindings to C++ code on a Sun (SunAda 2.1.1 and C++
SC3.0.1).  Everything works until the C++ code raises an exception.
Even though the C++ code has exception handlers, they are not being
handled.  I think the problem is that the C++ exception libraries is not
being linked.  The Ada compiler uses /usr/ccs/bin/ld to link while the
C++ compiler uses /usr/ucb/ld.  The C++ compiler passes -exceptions
option to ld when exceptions are needed.  The linker used by the Ada
compiler does not have a similar option.  Is there a specific library
that I need to link with to get C++ exceptions?  What is the difference
between the linkers?  Are my problems due to older compilers?
