IIRC the Aarch64 longjmp code doesn't have the sdt.h probes in place.
If you add pointer mangling without also adding the sdt.h probes, then
gdb's longjmp support will break. You should be able to see this easily
in the gdb test suite.
Adding the probes is quite easy to do, so I encourage you to add that
to the patch.
thanks,
Tom
