Surely not, as for aarch64 (unlike for x86), it's a TODO ;)

You mean libgcc/config/aarch64/linux-unwind.h.

What's the purpose of these other two defines? I'm not against them
being here as documentation (and it's up to the aarch64 maintainers),
but curious. A comment may be nice if it is just for documentation.
