You might find another workaround at 
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=533565#c4. It hacks OOo sources to 
compile the two problematic files with exceptions enabled. It causes that the 
wrong #ifdef in the boost header does not have any effect.

I used it as a temporary hack. I do not want to commit it into ooo-build. I 
expect that every distro should fix its boost. openSUSE is already fixed, ...

Anyway, feel free to send a patch against ooo-build that would add a configure 
check and enable the hack if needed ;-)
