I am not a DWARF-2 expert either, but it is my understanding that the 
personality is only involved in catching exceptions.  If they are only 
"passing through" there is no need for a personality.

BTW, How did you generate the .eh_frame data?  You can see what you have 
to emulate by compiling simple 'C' functions with -fexcptions.
