This is because GCC does not correctly implement [except.handle] for non-const
references to pointers:  the reference is bound to a temporary, and changes to
it are not reflected in the thrown exception.  See C++11 [except.handle]p17,
although these semantics are not new to C++11.

Anyhow, I have updated our implementation to use the correct values for ARM
EABI and MIPS;  thanks for doing the hard work here.
