Yep, no-sjlj-exceptions as-is has zero chance of working on Alpha.
Don't use it.  For Digital Unix, there is an exception handling
mechanism proscribed in the ABI which we should use, but no one has
done so.

The fact that the only DU box I have access to is a 166MHz thing
does not encourage much experimentation.  My Alphas all run Linux.
