Right. See my last e-mail to Dale. It's really amazing :)

It seems, that EH dwarf information emission is disabled in
X86TargetAsmInfo.cpp. Remove the is64Bit() condition near
"SupportExceptionHandling = true" line in X86Subtarget::isELF section.

Also, don't forget to add --enable-eh switch to llc invocation.

You will need to link .S with your native unwinding runtime (so, use g++
to link, not llvm-g++)
