  That wasn't so bad.  The quick way turned out to be to read enough of the
spec to be able to hand-parse and understand the x64/sysv.S FDE CFI lists, and
then apply the equivalent annotations to the win32 versions.  This fixed the
testcase I was debugging, so I've rebuilt (not re-bootstrapped, just rebuilt
the target libs after reconfiguring in $objdir/i686-pc-cygwin/libffi) and am
putting the attached patch through a libjava/libffi testrun.  FTR, the results
before this patch were:

                === libjava Summary ===

# of expected passes            2392
# of unexpected failures        96
# of untested testcases         84

                === libffi Summary ===

# of expected passes            1374
# of unexpected failures        27

  Assuming we see nothing but improvements, OK for head?

libjava/ChangeLog:

	* prims.cc (_Jv_CreateJavaVM):  Don't set runtimeInitialized
	until initialization is fully complete.

libffi/ChangeLog:

	* configure.ac:  Also check if assembler supports pc-relative
	relocs on X86_WIN32 targets.
	* configure:  Regenerate.
	* src/x86/win32.S (ffi_prep_args):  Declare extern, not global.
	(_ffi_call_SYSV):  Add missing function type symbol .def and
	add EH markup labels.
	(_ffi_call_STDCALL):  Likewise.
	(_ffi_closure_SYSV):  Likewise.
	(_ffi_closure_raw_SYSV):  Likewise.
	(.eh_frame):  Add hand-crafted EH data.

    cheers,
