It's not about removing an optimisation, but adding -fexceptions to the 
gcc command-line (and -shared-libgcc for the shared object).  I don't 
think it will be that easy to selectively add -fexceptions for gui.c and 
guiproc.c, but if you send in a patch I guess it could be accepted.

Have you considered using setjmp/longjmp instead of throwing exceptions?
