I suppose you mean set_fatal_function() in diagnostic.c?

That doesn't solve the problem, because (*fatal_function)() is not
called in this case.  (*fatal_function)() is only called from
fatal(), not from abort(), fancy_abort(), or finish_abort().

Are you suggesting that I use the `fatal_function' hook
rather than adding a new `lang_handle_ICE' hook?
