I see, in other mingw families, volunteers step up to fix
things.  I guess we need more of those, eh?  ;-)  mingw32ce
doesn't need to care for `fork' either.

Yeah, loads of enough time, didn't you notice?  Want some?

I've done these last about a month ago, exactly to pull in
winsup/mingw's implementation of Kai's pseudo-relocs v2, as
I mentioned in the announcement emails.  I didn't get to test
it though, and it appears I didn't finish the binutils
merge.  Bah.

Seriously, there are many more things that need cleaning than that.
The last patch I posted here that applied against gcc trunk at the time
of posting is something closer to what should go upstream, but, still
not there enough.

The arm abi specifies its own format of the unwinding information,
not dwarf2.  And then gas only implements that support for elf
targets.  This means that for coff/pe based targets, if we wanted to
piggy back on the currently supported table based unwinding format,
we'd have to do a bit more than just enabling a switch.

Helping Kai on SEH support would be probably a better way to
spend time, IMO.
