ORC doesn't go through the system dynamic loader, so there's no program header (JITLink doesn't generate one). None of the dynamic loaders I've looked at have any way to dynamically register program headers so that they'll be returned by `dl_iterate_phdr`. With ORC, code and data segments, including `.eh_frame` segments, get allocated in the target execution space and initialized by the JITLink memory manager, and the ORC runtime calling these registration functions is the only way libunwind will know about these tables.
