No, I think this change makes sense - I was just about to write a comment 
pointing out this spot in the code but was waiting for a compile to finish 
before posting.

No, I don't think that'd make sense

My point was that for the MSVC mode, this worked fine before since this 
was the default behaviour - avoiding passing any option (i.e. having that 
function return None) should be a safe way to keep things working as it 
did before. But then it would break again if -fseh-exceptions were passed, 
which I would expect to be a no-op in such a configuration.

My remaining concern is mostly about why we still need the workaround for 
x86 in the function getting the default (returning None instead of WinEH 
for that case). But as long as this works and the rest of this change can 
settle, we can look at that later if any further change is warranted at 
all.
