It is, so a change like this should be guarded by some preprocessor
conditionals if it makes any difference on any target (not sure if
we have any targets where a union containing void * and uintptr_t
would be layed out differently in a structure from void *, but
certainly on targets where _Unwind_Word is larger than void *
and they aren't new targets we risk ABI issues).
The problem is when some binaries link against older libgcc.a
and are used together with dynamically linked libgcc_s.so.
