Google says clang supports the option, but I cannot test that.

Those options are quite safe when the code doesn't use the features.
The C++ library's internals do not matter, it's made so that programs
with and without rtti and exceptions work.

If this were a C++ library instead of a program, then they wouldn't be
safe to add, in case a user of the library used the features.
