Yes.  If you want to use sjlj, it makes more sense to change
the default for exceptions_via_longjmp in except.c and rebuild the
compiler, rather than trying to consistently pass the flag.  This is true
for other ABI flags, as well.

It absolutely does.  Much of the EH support code is written in C++.
