It looks like there are some fairly simple portability issues with
non-Linux and/or GCC 4.6 which will need fixing.  The detection of
<memory> is buggy with GCC 4.6, which leads to build failure, and
personality support is being included on non-Linux, which leads to
link failure.  I should have a fixed version uploaded later today.
