[PATCH] Support Itanium ABI like unwinding on ARM and use it for NetBSD

[Renato Golin]

Hi Joerg,

I suppose Darwin's SjLj doesn't use this method, right?

const MCExpr *ARMElfTargetObjectFile::getTTypeGlobalReference()

+  if (TM.getMCAsmInfo()->getExceptionHandlingType() != ExceptionHandling::ARM)

Wouldn't it be better to be inclusive (DwarfCFI only), rather than exclusive?

cheers,
