 Ok, I understand that.  Cygwin and mingw have slightly different ways of
handling global ctors. The question for mingw developers is more accurately:
How do we handle that difference if we add dwarf2 EH registration to startup
code. Should we try, with marginal (maintenance and runtime) cost, to maintain
status quo? 

I don't know how (when/if) cygwin will implement dwarf2 EH.  Richard
Henderson's patch was spot on, except for wrong use of -1 rather than 0 as
sentinel for end of eh_frame table.

My preference is to try to keep the differences between mingw and cygwin in gcc
code as small as possible.
