Actually the modification would only be needed in one place, 
in eh_throw.cc (__gxx_exception_cleanup) so that should be
simple to do.

I am not sure what you mean by "How does the function call ABI work?"
so I don't know how to answer that.  Just changing the prototype by
itself is not enough since we also need to explicitly extend the pointer
with the addp4 (extend_ptr) instruction.  In HP C++, in ILP32 mode, they
take advantage of the fact that _Unwind_GetIP still returns 64 bits and
they save all 64 bits in the LSDA and then pass it back in to
_Unwind_GetIP as a 64 bit address.

For GCC to use the HP Unwind library there seem to be two options;
change GCC/libstdc++ to save all 64 bits that it gets from _Unwind_GetIP
and store it as 64 bits in the LSDA and pass it back into _Unwind_SetIP
as 64 bits or get and save only 32 bits and then extend it before
calling _Unwind_SetIP.  Just changing the _Unwind_SetIP call seemed like
a less intrusive (if still ugly) change.

I did it the other way for a time by defining _Unwind_Ptr to be 64 bits
in unwind.h when on IA64 in ILP32 mode.  I think there were some issues
with some of the casts in eh_personality.cc but other then that it
seemed to work.

Do you think that change (changing the typedef of _Unwind_Ptr) would be
cleaner then doing the extend_ptr on the _Unwind_SetIP call?

Yes, I did it this way so that libstdc++-v3/config/os/hpux/os_defines.h
wouldn't have to include unwind.h.  I could change os_defines.h to
include unwind.h or just put the declaration in unwind.h.
