This is actually something we want to use in glibc. The exception
handling mechanism is currently poorly (means not at all) integrated
with the thread cleanup handling. Also, we implement for the cleanup
handling something similar to exception handling.
Therefore the idea is to have exceptions in C (compatible with the C++
exceptions) and use them in the thread cleanup handling.
