Assumed to be, because I think we hadn't been told otherwise. I can't
swear that I've read every single posting so I may of course have
missed this.
I thought that gcc did not yet allow arbitrary insns to throw
exceptions in the manner of the old "-fasynchronous-exceptions". If
this is in fact supposed to work I'll investigate further.
