Cygwin and mingw have slightly different ways of handling global ctors. The question for mingw developers is more accurately: How do we handle that difference if we add dwarf2 EH registration to startup code. Should we try, with marginal (maintenance and runtime) cost, to maintain status quo?
I don't know how (when/if) cygwin will implement dwarf2 EH. Richard Henderson's patch was spot on, except for wrong use of -1 rather than 0 as sentinel for end of eh_frame table. My preference is to try to keep the differences between mingw and cygwin in gcc code as small as possible.
