Announce: Revisiting Patchwork (aka, if you have a patch in patchwork, your attention is ***required***!)

Any unwind patches for ppc in glibc-2.19?

A small c++ program fails nicely on 32-bit ppc:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <iostream>

static void cause_exn(void)
{
    std::cout << "cause_exn invoked" << std::endl;
    throw 20;
    std::cout << "cause_exn done" << std::endl;
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    std::cout << "Starting" << std::endl;
    try {
        cause_exn();
    } catch (int e) {
        std::cout <<  "Caught exception " << e << std::endl;
    }
    std::cout << "Exiting" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expected output is:

Starting
cause_exn invoked
Caught exception 20
Exiting

on 32-bit ppc with glibc-2.19/gcc-4.8.3:

Starting
cause_exn invoked
Aborted (core dumped)

Have done some preliminary work and will have a patch for the list in a few weeks, but it would be a shame if somebody else has already gone there!

ppc_64 works fine.  As does x86, x86_64 on the same test program.

Btw thanks Bryan for taking the cross-gcc helm and thanks Yann for the excellent work!
