Without _Unwind_GetIPInfo, it is not possible to unwind correctly through signal handlers. glibc needs this, otherwise cancellation does not work. The attached patch documents this function and makes it part of the ABI. I tried to explain as best as I could why this function is needed, without talking about exception handler regions. The 32-bit ABI will need a similar change. The second patch is for the Makefile, so that it doesn't ask for input on an error. Thanks, Florian
