Any insight into this problem, or the configuration system and how I might adapt it to this compiler, are greatly appreciated.

If the compiler has no exception handling support, then boost::throw_exception is *deliberately* left undefined. It's up to you to provide a suitable implementation that does whatever you want it too when an exceptional condition occurs (abort probably).

Indeed, see http://boost.org/libs/utility/throw_exception.html
