You should see my message to egcs soon, about why regular frame 
exception handling doesn't work.  I am trying to 'fix' collect2 
to remove its reliance on vfork, and instead use popen.  It appears 
that it doesn't need to have asynch processes, and just suspending one,
and running the other outputting to a file should be ok.  
setjump/longjump exception handling does work BTW, but is it 
a functionally equivalent replacement of the regular mechanism?

Its not my fault.  Really.  ;)

It might be quicker to patch gcc to emit the call to register frame
properly, instead of using collect2.  But I don't know for sure
because I don't know what collect2 does ... only half way through
the sources.

:) The never is a bit much (how about gcc, or emacs, or ...)
