They will care about the bloat from the frame info, necessary on
the execution path from the "exception" to the "finally" point.
Right, compile code in-between with -fexceptions.  Problem is,
how do I know what code is in-between on the execution path so
I can compile only that with -fexceptions?

Won't *somebody* think of the children^Wlittle executables?

(Proactively: Yes I *know* that stuff isn't mapped in until
exception time, but that's not the point.)
