Currently FreeBSD comes with an old version of binutils where the GNU
assembler doesn't support unwind directives. I never submitted the patch
on this list because it was never intended for operating systems other
than FreeBSD. It's part of the FreeBSD-specific libffi port and that's
sufficient in my opinion. OpenBSD folks should do the same if necessary.
