Unfortunately, that doesn't tell us how the compiler was configured.
There is actually no way of telling.

In that case, the compiler probably doesn't matter. However, you will
be using libstdc++ from your compiler, so it might be a problem. I'm
not sure how pervasive a problem the thread-safe exception handling
is.

Try my other suggestion of running the server under gdb, so you can
have a good look at it when it crashes.

Cheers,
