Yes, but inclusion of <iostream> can trigger inclusion of static
constructors for a variety of things, e.g. cin, cout, cerr etc.

[Disassemble your *.objs produced w/ and w/o <iostream>. This will
demonstrate what I am referring to.]

I would not be surprized if some changes to libstdc++ might interfere
with RTEMS ctors/dtors handling - An indication for this would be your
"exception" occurring before program execution enters any application
code (before main() is entered)
