I think that, then, you should try to convince Richard Henderson and
Benjamin Koznik that these changes are valuable. If it is OK with them,
I would be OK with it, but I do not want to push changes into subsytems
that I do not maintain in a way that could be perceived as a favor for a
CodeSourcery customer. I'd also be open to a conditional compilation
solution; if Richard H. feels uncomfortable with the EH changes, maybe
he'd be happier with them #ifdef'd.
I think the worst case is that we create csl-arm-4_0-branch, which
differs from the 4_0-branch only by this patch.
