Why is a hacked unwind-ia64.h/c part of binutils?

Although I understand these files historically contain some generic unwind
definitions, would there be opposition to accepting a patch to arguably
more properly peel the generic portions out, and correspondingly enable
the specification of target specific unwind type sizes which may be more
appropriate for smaller targets, as opposed to presuming they need be
defined by the ia64's native word type sizes?

(and correspondingly enabled for GCC target ports as well)
