Add /GX to 'compile_options'. This is definitely needed for C++ source;

according to the MS docs it enables exception-handling, and (according
to Alex Martelli <aleaxit@yahoo.com>) is needed to compile without
getting warnings from standard C++ library headers.  Apparently
it doesn't cause any problems with C code, so I haven't bothered
conditionalizing the use of /GX.
