That I knew, but I never saw the details (I may have missed them in the
GCC mailing lists).  Nor why they couldn't add conditional code to do the
old way on hpux, and fixed sjlj exceptions everywhere else.  Since this
bug greatly affects both FreeBSD and OpenBSD (Linux does not use sjlj),
we BSD's are the greatest consumer of the sjlj code.
