My proposal for the libgcc runtime ABI (ia64 gcc/glibc is broken.)

There is no 2.96, and 3.0 won't be released until problems like this are
fixed.

The goal of 3.0 is to freeze the C++ ABI so we don't keep going through
these problems again and again.  That means we have to get it right.
Thanks in advance for contributing to the effort to get it right.
