They're already easily removable with -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -fno-unwind-tables. The problem is just that it's impossible to remove them and still have working debugging (unless you want to revert to using stabs or something and adding back a frame pointer...). My request is that it be possible to move them to a strippable/non-mapped section to use them purely as debugging information and not treat them as "part of the program".
