Jim Ingham added HP-like catch/throw support to the MacOS X gdb last 
summer.  Running this new exception.exp against our gdb I got one 
UNSUPPORTED (we don't have "info catch" do anything useful).  The 
catch/throw tests failed, but only because our a "throw" breakpoint 
only knows the "throw location", not the "catch location", and 
similarly a "catch" breakpoint only knows the "catch location".  e.g.

Continuing.

Catchpoint 3 (exception caught), throw location 
../../../gdb/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.c++/exception.cc:30, catch location 
unknown, exception type int
0x0000783c      391         {
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.c++/exception.exp: continue to first throw

The only other failure was from the output of "info breakpoints" -- we 
don't give an address for our catch/throw support. e.g.


info breakpoints
Num Type           Disp Enb Address    What
1   breakpoint     keep y   0x00002258 in main at 
../../../gdb/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.c++/exception.cc:48
        breakpoint already hit 1 time
2   catch catch    keep y              exception catch
3   catch throw    keep y              exception throw
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.c++/exception.exp: info breakpoints
