Yes, and it depends on what kind of unwinding information your platform 
needs/expects. If it follows the Itainium Unwind ABI or you decide to go with 
SjLj exceptions, you should have an easier time porting the libc++abi one. If it 
is significantly different than one of those two (i.e. ARM EHABI, which we are 
just finishing up upstreaming) you'll have more.... 'fun'.
