Well, for plain assembler, Alpha actually has enough information with
the .frame, .mask, .fmask, and .prologue directives to construct the
entire .eh_frame (or .debug_frame) section itself.
Which is probably the best way to go, really. No one wants to fiddle
with the details of skipping etc at all.
