We started from this page <http://www.zylin.com/libstdc++.html> to get exceptions working in the eCos toolchain.  Apart from some minor issues (which I forgot, please check the zylin ML archives) this worked like a charm.  After that we used Boost++ with eCos (during the port of orocos <http://www.orocos.org/>) without any problems (no modifications to the boost sources were necessary).  However, orocos does not use the Boost state machine classes.
