Hello Jean-Michaël

Do you have experience of this working on ARM Macs? That's the issue that 
Dennis is having: by default, the compiler there doesn't generate unwind 
information if exceptions are disabled, unlike on x86. So the big question I 
asked: does the same apply to the Apple libraries themselves?
