Some comments...
* This won't work on platforms using sjlj exceptions. throw_helper
only exists on targets using PC range table style exceptions.
* I don't see __start_cp_handler in the mainline libgcc sources. Is
this something special in the BeOS libgcc?
* Once these issues are sorted out, the GCC people should be told that
gdb intends to use these functions as hooks. We can comment the
libgcc sources then to make sure people think twice before
modifying them.
