Compat=4 and #include string

Question

I am trying to build a project that uses string and wstring out of #include <string>, but because I am using Orbix 3 corba middleware I am having uses compatibility mode compat=4. This gives me the following error:
"/opt/SUNWspro/SC5.0/include/CC/./new", line 32: Error: The prior declaration for operator new(unsigned) has no exception specification.
"/opt/SUNWspro/SC5.0/include/CC/./new", line 34: Error: The prior declaration for operator delete(void *) has no exception specification.
"/opt/SUNWspro/SC5.0/include/CC/./new", line 36: Error: The prior declaration for operator new[](unsigned) has no exception specification.
"/opt/SUNWspro/SC5.0/include/CC/./new", line 32: Error: The prior declaration for operator delete[](unsigned) has no exception specification.
I was expecting to have to use new.h for compat=4, but <string> includes <rw/string_ref> which includes <memory> which includes <new>. Does this mean that I cannot use <string>?
My compile options are:
-compat=4 -library=rwtools7 -features=%none,bool,namespace,except,mutable
Thanks in advance,
Damian

I have had the same error message when trying to use compat 4 with version 6. I have found a way of getting rid of the error and allowing the compile/link to finish. However I was unable to test if the program actually ran.
If you are not using exceptions then you should (in theory) be able to use -no%except. The errors are then relpaced with 1 warning, but at least it compiles. I would be very interested in any solution you find to this problem.
Sorry I was unable to help more,
