Thinking about this more, how hard would it be to single-step through
longjmp instead? I'm sure there will be some platform where it
doesn't work, and that platform can use the current get_longjmp_target
mechanism, but for glibc platforms we could just step and see where we
end up, then decide whether to continue or stop.
